Charles Aznavour is to arrive in Armenia. He is coming in connection
with the September 30 celebration within the framework of the year
of Armenia in France.

On that very day the opening ceremony of the French Square on the
crossroad of Sayat-Nova, Baghramyan and Mashtots avenues will take
place; later on Charles Aznavour will sing in the Republic Square
together with his friends. The opening of the French Square will take
place in the presence of the Armenian and French Presidents.

If you have a walk around Yerevan, you’ll have the impression that
the whole city, everyone from ordinary citizens to high officials,
is getting ready for the arrival of the guests.

According to preliminary data, on September 30 the French Square will
be decorated with the flags of both countries. A memorial board will
be opened with the date of the opening of the Square and the names
of the Presidents of both countries as initiators. A stage will be
constructed where the Presidents will stand together with their wives.

It is noteworthy that the decoration of the Republic Square where the
concert will take place is carried out by Russian workers. Deputy
mayor of Yerevan Vano Vardanyan said that they are not responsible
for these works as the renowned singer brought the crew himself.

The workers of the Security Service are also ready for the day,
although they are sure that there will be no emergencies.
