Thank you, and thanks to our visitors for a very compelling presentation.

\n

I'm going to start by asking for a bit of clarification. I was interested in a comment of Mr. Urman's, when he said that there's no symmetry between the two experiences, which is a view that I have, too.

\n

Mr. Abitbol spoke of a common experience between the two, but I think that in order to be fair, one must acknowledge that these were two different experiences. No one is demanding refugee status due to the historic situation, but this does not mean that the two experiences can be seen as mirror images of each other.

\n

Is that right?

Merci, et je remercie nos visiteurs de leur expos\u00e9 tr\u00e8s instructif.

J'aimerais tout d'abord obtenir quelques pr\u00e9cisions. Une observation qu'a faite M. Urman a piqu\u00e9 mon int\u00e9r\u00eat. Il a dit qu'il n'y a pas de sym\u00e9trie entre les deux exp\u00e9riences, et c'est aussi mon avis.

\n

M. Abitbol a parl\u00e9 d'\u00e9quivalence entre les deux exp\u00e9riences, mais je pense que, pour \u00eatre juste, il faudrait dire qu'il s'agit d'exp\u00e9riences diff\u00e9rentes. Il n'est pas question pour les gens de r\u00e9clamer d'\u00eatre consid\u00e9r\u00e9s comme r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s \u00e0 cause de la situation historique, mais cela ne veut pas dire qu'on peut mettre totalement en parall\u00e8le les deux exp\u00e9riences.

\n

Est-ce exact?
