“ Karastan or the country of stones, is the other name for Armenia.
Since 1915, a wind of sand and oblivion has covered Anatolia’s stones.
In their profound silence the scream and suffering of an entire Nation can still be heard.
Stones that are a reminder of the past and a silent witness of History.
Stones that take us to the past, a past filled with emotions and where memories collide;
a genuine emotion as a way to fight the silence of oblivion ”
Magali Bonavia
