French pop star Sylvie Vartan said for the first time on television
her Armenian descent by her father Georges Vartan, former press officer
at Embassy of France in Sofia. The singer had not ever said in public
that she was also of Armenian descent.
She said on the show "Vivement dimanche" on a question of Michel
Drucker : "Yes I'm Armenian side of my father"
Born in Bulgaria on August 15, 1944 by Bulgarian mother, she arrived
in Paris on December 1952 with her parents.
She started in show business at 16 years old, and immediately met
with success; especially with a song by Charles Aznavour and Georges
Garvarentz, " La plus belle pour aller danser" (The most beautiful
to go dancing).
She was married first once with famous rocker Johnny Hallyday, and
then with the American film producer Tony Scotti. Her son, David
Hallyday is also a pop star in France.
Yesterday on November 23, Sylvie Vartan gave a special concert in
Paris (Salle Pleyel) with Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra to celebrate
its 50-years of career.
