THE HIGHEST AWARD OF THE HOMELAND TO THE FAMOUS SINGER

Today Robert Kocharyan has received famous singer Charles Aznavour. He has
presented Aznavour with the highest award of the Republic of Armenia – the
Order of the Homeland, saying that this is another compliment of the
Armenian nation, a symbol of its love and gratitude to the great singer.

Aznavour gave to Robert Kocharyan an old Armenian manuscript which he had
bought in an auction. Robert Kocharyan and Aznavour had a conversation about
the progress of Armenia, about the links with the Diaspora and culture.

Kocharyan has voiced hope that the participation in the May events and the
visits to the sights of Armenia will give many pleasant moments to the
singer.
