YEREVAN, 23 MARCH, ARMENPRESS: The Lebanese singer Paskal Sakre
performed Charles Aznavour’s French song “They Fell” (“Ils Sont
Tombe”).
The Lebanese periodical “Aztag” informed “Armenpress” about this. “On
the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide,
I wanted to express my sorrow, tears and indignation,” the singer
said to the Lebanese news agency.
Last year, the French-Armenian singer Charles Aznavour had posted
on Facebook the song “They Fell” and had written: “Today April 24
is the 99th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. This song was
written in 1975 by Charles Aznavour and George Garvarents on the
60th anniversary.”
