On Sunday, 17-year-old Talar Simonian will get the chance to say thank you to the country that has taken her in. The Syrian Armenian refugee will sing with her uncle accompanying her at Sunday's Concert for Gratitude at the Crystal Grand Banquet Hall in Mississauga. "It's asking, 'Why did you leave and go very far and not come back, we're sad now,'" she said. Simonian arrived in Canada a year ago with her family after being forced to leave their home in Aleppo four years ago because of the war. Simonian is one of many Syrian Armenian refugees performing on Sunday at the Concert for Gratitude.
