Michel Drucker, the most popular French TV anchor since 1974, is going
to be the sponsor of Phonethon 2011, Jean Eckian, a French-Armenian
journalist, reported from Paris.
At the Eurovision Song Contest in Athens back in 2006, Drucker, who
is an intimate friend of Charles Aznavour, said to the great singer,
" It would be necessary for the Turks to recognize the Armenian
Genocide one day".
That year, the Armenian participant, Andre, won eighth place at the
contest. Turkey won the11th place.
Drucker feels close to the Armenian people because his father, Abraham,
is an immigrant from an Austro-Hungarian Empire. Abraham Drucker was
an SS captive during the World War II.
A film telling the story of Drucker will be shot in 2012. Famous
actor Simon Abakarian will reportedly play Michel's father's role in
"Qu'est-ce qu'on va faire de toi ?"("What will we do with you?").
