Notre-Dame de Parisis one of the most significant and beloved symbols of the European civilization and the entire Christian world. For Armenians it is a unique embodiment of the French culture and spiritual heritage which we have identified with Paris and its centuries-old history.

At the same time, we hope that all of us will take the necessary steps to restore the former look of the temple. "
