À la France, avec gratitude. À Jacques Chirac, avec mémoire éternelle.
Parfois, dans l’histoire d’un peuple, vient un moment où il a besoin non seulement d’un refuge, mais d’une vraie reconnaissance humaine. D’une main tendue. D’une porte ouverte. D’un respect silencieux, non pas parce que l’on est quelqu’un d’important, mais simplement parce que l’on est humain. Et cette main, pour le peuple tchétchène, fut la France.
