Charles Aznavour has said he would like to see Armenia surrounded by friends only.

“Armenia needs help. It’s a small country surrounded by countries, some of which are friends, some are enemies. I would like to see only friends around. But for that they need to have the same mentality. It’s a matter of mentality, not of land or oil. I’m not interested in that. I want a person to remain a person,” Aznavour said.

The world-famous French-Armenian singer was a guest at Vecherniy Urgant (Evening Urgant) late-night talk show on Russian Channel One. Aznavour also talked about his large family and his links with Russia.

Charles Aznavour will give a concert at the State Kremlin Palace tonight.
