/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Renowned singer Charles Aznavour has agreed to
serve as Armenia’s Ambassador to Switzerland.
"I consider it an honor that Armenia wants to see me as its envoy. I
had some hesitation at first because it’s not an easy mission. But
I have come to a conclusion that it’s important for Armenia and for
all of us," Aznavour said, the Armenian Public Television reports.
Earlier, Aznavour told El Pais in an interview that he can’t accept
the offer. "I was happy the day when President Serzh Sargsyan offered
me the post of Armenia’s Ambassador to Switzerland. But the next day
I understood that if I agree I will lose freedom," Aznavour told the
Spanish newspaper.
