Ambassador of France to Armenia Jonathan Lacote says that Charles Aznavour’s death is a great loss for Armenia and France.

“Moments ago we lost Charles Aznavour, who with his persona embodied the entire depth,  richness and humanity of the relations of France and Armenia. This is a great loss for our two countries and fans of his art,” the ambassador said on Twitter.

Aznavour died today at the age of 94.

“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
