CHARLES AZNAVOUR LEARNS WITH GREAT INTEREST ABOUT ARMENIAN PRESIDENT’S
DECISION TO INVITE PRESIDENT OF TURKEY TO YEREVAN
YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 7, NOYAN TAPAN. The world-famous singer Charles
Aznavour received "with great interest" Armenian President Serzh
Sargsyan’s decision to invite Turkish President Abdullah Gul to attend
a match of Armenian and Turkish football teams in Yerevan. The text of
his letter to S. Sargsyan was submitted to Noyan Tapan by the RA
Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The letter in particular reads: "It was
with great interest that I learned about your initiative to invite
Turkish President Abdullah Gul to Yerevan in order to attend an
Armenia-Turkey qualifying match of the 2010 World Cup. It was also
pleasant for me to be informed that your Turkish counterpart accepted
your invitation. I hope that your meeting will record a step forward in
the regulation of the relations between the two countries.
At this important moment I would like to be next to you, Mr. President,
but sudden sharp pains in the spine prevented me from leaving for
Armenia. Nevertheless, Mr. President, I am with you both in my mind and
soul.
Wishing you success in your high mission in the interests of Armenia
and the Armenians, I ask you to accept the assurance of my deep
respect."
