1501 - Armenian

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Maria Stambolidou

I didn’t know what the letters of the monument were saying…
They were in Armenian.
But I wanted to know and looked around.
Then I saw the little girl who was weeping quietly.
– What is written here?
– She didn’t reply immediately…
She spelled the strange phrase,
looked at me and said:
– Our history, their sin.
– Thank you, my life.
