"The idea to make an exhibition was born 2 months ago, then I shared it with my friends, Finnish artists, and everyone supported me. In this difficult time for Ukraine, we wanted to show that you are not alone. Finland has sheltered many refugees from Ukraine, and we see and feel all the pain you feel. We had many obstacles, but we succeeded. We are very proud and glad that we are with you now, and the hearts of the Azerbaijani people and the Finnish people are with Ukraine." Chingiz Abasov, the author of the project
"This is a battle not only for territory, it is a battle for cultural content." Jaakko Lehtovirta, Ambassador of Finland in Ukraine
