Aznavour to attend a concert in his honor in Yerevan

Charles Aznavour will be present at a concert in his honor to be held in Yerevan on June 1. Representatives of Armenia opera and pop music will welcome Aznavour with his own songs.

Actor and director Hayk Petrosyan, one of the organizers of the concert, who calls himself Aznavour’s representative in Armenia, will not only perform some of the world-known singer’s works, but also host the show.

“The past 60 years have seen a number of stars appear and fade away in France, but Charles Aznavour, 93, is still on the peak. He can serve a brilliant example of fighting and persistence not only for individuals, but also for the nation as a whole,” Hayk Petrosyan, a great fan of Aznavour, told Public Radio of Armenia.

“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
