YEREVAN, APRIL 10, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. "I am not an Armenian
of France and I want to say very proudly that I am a Frenchman with an
Armenian origin," world-famous singer Charles Aznavour declared at the
April 10 press conference at the French Embassy in Armenia. "I feel
myself a Frenchman by my land and education, but I am an absolute
pure-blooded Armenian by my heart, soul and my way of speaking. A
thing that enables me to have really a peculiar, an exclusive wealth,"
Aznavour said. Charles Aznavour also mentioned that he has been always
happy to see Armenia and France constantly closely connected with each
other. The singer has always wished French to be the second language
in Armenia, which, according to him, is almost impossible as Russian
is more spread in the country. "Nevertheless, I would like French to
be even if the third language in Armenia". Aznavour also said that
each time he comes to Armenia he speaks Armenian better and there
will be a day when he will speak Armenian purely.
