PARIS, FEBRUARY 19, ARMENPRESS: Proceeds from the Saturday concert
by famous French Armenian singer Charles Aznavour in Paris will be
used to cover the arrival and a week-long stay of about 800 Armenian
children in French homes.
The unprecedented visit is part of an extensive program of cultural
and other events called The Year of Armenia in France, which officially
kicked off Saturday.
The Saturday concert was attended by the visiting Armenian president
Robert Kocharian, his spouse Bella Kocharian and Bernadette Chirac,
the First Lady of France. Kocharian and French president Jacques
Chirac were scheduled for a meeting later today.
