Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau couldn' fight back his tears during the speech of a Syrian Armenian.

The prime minister held a roundtable with a small group of refugees to discuss the problems of the first year of the Syrian refugee program implemented in Canada, CBC reports.

Addressing Trudeau, Vanig Garabedian recalled the moment when he stepped onto a Toronto-bound plane in Beirut, Lebanon. He then shook the hand of a Canadian who said, 'Go and make Canada a better place.'

''Then we landed at Pearson airport, and the very first person we shook hands was the prime minister," Garabedian said.

In his words, the prime minister's words 'Welcome home' were especially important for him, since it is especially important to hear such words when you are leaving your home.

Prime Minister Trudeau, for his part, noted that the Syrian refugee program was very important for him, since 'all of Canada was involved in, that making the commitment to bring over 25,000 and more Syrian refugees was something that the government couldn't do on its own.'
