On December 15, Martha Hall Findlay, MP for Willowdale, and friend of the Canadian Armenian community, made a statement in the House of Commons marking the fifth anniversary of the destruction of the khachkars in the Djulfa cemetery. Describing it as “a significant loss of history and culture”, she commended the work of the Armenian-Canadian community in trying to preserve and celebrate Armenian culture.
Some races have hands to carve
Some races have hands to crush
No one can change either
The arts will reproduced
and criminal hands will sigh.
