To the participants and supporters of the “Hunger for Justice”:

Although we are many miles away, this one cause brings our spirits side by side. 

The strength and passion within your brave hearts has brought strength and passion to many more souls all around.  Though others may think and believe actions such as a hunger strike are irrational and unfounded, we believe you have given Armenians everywhere an unconditional gift, and this gift is pride.

It is this pride, this fire that motivates all Armenians worldwide to continue through the fight no matter how many years it takes until the light is seen.   Your sacrifices have reacquainted hope to us all.  Hope that no matter how large or powerful the enemy, our cause will live on.

Your fellow AYF members are very proud of you and are there with you from a distance.  Though fatigue and hunger has surely exhausted you to limitations, remember that your actions throughout recent days is proof to everyone everywhere, proof that no matter how strong the wind of evil may blow, the flame of truth cannot be extinguished.
