Singer Andre who represented Armenia in "Eurovision 2006" announces
that he does not belong to any religious sect. He told a press
conference today that although he was born in an atheist family, he
considers God his chief sponsor. "During the Karabakh war when I was
8 I sang my first song called "Prayer" with Christ's picture in my
hands. I sang and prayed God to protect my father who fought in war
and to give us victory", Andre said. He mentioned that he does not
avoid saying that he believes in God, but that doesn't mean that he
belongs to a sect. "Everyone believes in some thing. Some believe in
the coffee cup, others in stars. I believe in God".
By the way, Andre was surprised to find out that his September
26concert in Vazgen Sargsyan stadium has a number of sponsors - major
and famous firms. According to him, no one has ever sponsored his
concerts. The majority of the tickets of the concert has already been
sold (11 thousand from 14). Andre promised the football fans that the
stadium will not be spoilt. There will also be guests in the concert:
singer Varvara from Russia, Elena Risteska who represented FYR
Macedonia in "Eurovision 2006" and others. During the concert Andre
will represent his new CD which is called "A Thousand Times". After
the Yerevan concert Andre will leave for the United States and a
number of European countries in order to give concerts. He will
return to Yerevan on December 12.
He also mentioned that the video of his song "Without you love" is
still broadcast by a number of European TC Channels. Besides, he was
invited to the celebration of the Independence Day of Ukraine as an
honored guest. Let us add that on September 2 in connection with the
15th anniversary of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic the National
Assembly of NKR awarded Andre a medal as a singer devoted to his
homeland. Andre who is from Artsakh by birth accepted the medal
proudly.
