"I dream of visiting Turkey, and I have never said anything bad about
that country. However, my brother and system don't recommend me to
visit Turkey as I speak of Genocide and they think the trip may kill
me," world renowned French chanson singer, Armenian Ambassador to
Switzerland Charles Aznavour said in an interview with La Liberte.
"My Turkish fiends have been inviting me to Turkey for many times to
perform there. If Turkey agrees to reopen the border with Armenia,
I will visit Turkey even if the Genocide issue is not settled. Opening
of the border will settle many problems," Aznavour said. He said that
he had been only in Istanbul once at the beginning of his career when
nobody knew he is an Armenian.
As for the situation in Armenia, Aznavour said that it is not so good.
To improve the situation in the country, the Armenian-Turkish border
should be opened.
"It is also necessary for Armenians not to yield to the 'robbers' that
make them sell everything they have for a penny and work like slaves.
Armenia is a cultural country, which is little known, unfortunately.
It is open for tourists and I call on the Swiss to visit Armenia. They
will enjoy warm reception and delicious cuisine.
Cuisine is part of the Armenian culture. Even if we have nothing,
our tables are always full," he said.
