I am adult and I realize that we can't reach anything with harbor. We have to be tolerant, understanding each other and try to judge fairly and forget the past. It would be difficult, but I think that we are not guilty for past mistakes. I offer to forget the past and live for future.
Astghik Dallakyan
I wish the perfect peace for our countries, it is possible if the people of both countries are tolerant and forgiving. It is the only priority leading us to peace. The border of tolerance and forgiveness begins where the human rights, counrty's and nations' interests are trampled. If we are tolerant and forgiving we can form the society where each of us has its own place.
Julietta Ananyan
Tolerance and forgivness today are distorted values and mostly considered as a weakness. That's why national internal agreement, mutual respect, generosity and love have given way to blind criticism, hatred, unwillingness and selfishness.
Avetisyan Gohar
Today civil society tries to solve problems by dialog and tolerance and we are not exception. Our authorities have made first steps towards, but I think for full result our nations have to become closer and try to understand each other with tolerance. An anger we feel now was born with us, but it could be put aside and go on with tolerance. The days when armenians and turkish were in a common country, worked together, and during massacre and genocide there were not few among turkish who helped armenians to be saved from that tragedy, which organized turkish authorities. It is necessary to eradicate an anger from our nations and go on with mutual understanding and agreement. Does not need to talk that tolerance will save a world.
Arevik Hakobyan
Calmness, tolerance are qualities of strong human. My lovely friend, today I have free, independent, nice wonderland - Armenia, my motherland, where armenians live peaceful and wealthy. Visit Armenia and you will see only tolerance and respect, which help to live calmly. I pray to God: "My God, punish the enemy, who washed his hands by our newborns' blood for many years. Forgiving God, bless your people and my nation".
Kiss You, Sona
Today tolerance is not much accepted in the world. It is a great problem. I think, if there is tolerance between nations we'll not see massacre, wars and murders.
Sahakyan Greta
Stay with kindness, live in peace, defend your land as a holiness and remember that humans have to be tolerant inspire of nationality.
