Aznavour is a legend, a walking legend: Serzh Sargsyan
President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan on June 1 visited the HouseMuseum of Charles Aznavour where the Museum’s key handover ceremony to ‘Aznavour Fund’ was held, press service of the President’s Office told Armenpress. President Sargsyan delivered speech at the event:
“Dear friends,
Dear Charles,
I am very happy to be here today, in this good, warm atmosphere, in the HouseMuseum of Charles Aznavour, the presence of which in Yerevan is an honor not only for Yerevan, but also for our whole public.
Yerevan is rich of beautiful historical-cultural places, cultural centers, but this HouseMuseum enriches Yerevan, gives new impetus to our cultural life. Charles Aznavour has no need to be presented: he is already wellknown, Maestro, and we are happy that we are your contemporaries, that we can regularly enjoy your art and performances.
Indeed, you not only sing, you also perform since each song of yours is a complete performance. Today Aznavour is a legend, a walking legend, and that legend belongs not only to France, Armenia, the Armenian people, but also to all humanity.
The ArmeninaFrench relations are linked with thousands of ties, and one of the vivid proofs of this is that the last three Presidents of France Jacques Chirac, Nicolas Sarkozy and François Hollande, visited Armenia, moreover, Hollande visited three times, two of which during his Presidency.
I hope the newlyelected President Mr. Emmanuel Macron will continue this tradition, and we together with you will welcome him in this HouseMuseum. I wish you health, long life so that you will manage to enjoy your art. I am very thankful that you agreed to have HouseMuseum in Yerevan. It’s an honor for us, and be confident that we will bear that honor with dignity. Thank you and congratulations.”
