CHARLES AZNAVOUR MEETS HIS HOLINESS ARAM I IN ANTELIAS
The Iconic French Singer son of Armenian immigrants visited His Holiness
Aram I on Friday 10 July in the afternoon. The artist had been invited to
sing at the Beiteddine Festival in Lebanon.
His Holiness Aram I received the guests in the presence of the Prelate of
Lebanon His Grace Bishop Kegham Khatcherian, the Responsible for Protocol
Bishop Norayr Ashekian and the head of information office Very Rev. Krikor
Chiftjian. In his welcome, the Catholicos expressed his appreciation of the
great Man who had used his talent to give visibility through art to his
adopted country France, and at the same time affirm his Armenian origins
Conversations turned around Aznavour's advocacy role in reminding the world
of the denial of the genocide and the rights of the Armenian people. Since
1988 following the earthquake in Armenia, Charles Aznavour has become the
Itinerant Ambassador of the Armenian people. He has used his personal
resources and raised funds for the reconstruction of the disaster areas and
provided humanitarian assistance to the victims in Karabagh.
In the end of the visit, His Holiness Aram I offered the Itinarant
Ambassador a reproduction of the most ancient handwritten with miniatures
copy of "Nareg". This special gift was to accompany the decoration of the
Order of Knights of Cilicia, the Late Catholicos Khoren I had given to him
in 1977.
