Famous French Armenian singer Charles Aznavour is puzzled why it’s not
that easy for Caucasians, especially for Armenians to live in Russia.

In an interview with Russian "Izvestia" newspaper Aznavour said he
is most loved and appreciated in two countries -France and Armenia,
noting that today it is not easy for Caucasians to live in Moscow. "I
don’s understand what has led to this situation. Russia is the most
important country for any Armenian living in Armenia, and Armenians
have always been respected in Russia for their reason, diligence and
honesty," Aznavour underlined.

Let us remind that the famous singer is starting a farewell tour
in different countries of the world, and on April 20 he will give a
concert at the Kremlin Palace of Moscow, presenting his most popular
compositions. Asked what is the most important for him, Charles
Aznavour honestly responded, "My relatives. Here I include not only
my family, but also my friends."

Will the concert in the Kremlin be the last in Russia? Charles Aznavour
said, "I don’t know yet. It depends on the demand. Nevertheless, I
will complete my concert activity in about two years, when I turn 85."

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
