ArmInfo.The second President of Armenia, Robert Kocharyan, expressed condolences in connection with the passing of the great chansonnier Charles Aznavour.
"With deep sorrow, I learned about the death of Charles Aznavour. On my own behalf, and on behalf of my whole family, I express my deepest condolences to family members, loved ones, as well as to the fans of great chansonnier. .
It is impossible to characterize Aznavour in one word. A great singer, a great artist, an outstanding cultural figure, a patriot and just a man with a capital letter passed away.
I warmly recall our many meetings and memorable conversations. He was a very tactful interlocutor, a carrier of a very interesting philosophy, which was able to express his ideas and spread his values, both on stage and in everyday life.
The contribution of Charles Aznavour to the development of our homeland, as well as giving it worldwide fame is invaluable. I am sure that for many years he will be the most famous Armenian for the representatives of other nations and the personification of the collective image of a true Armenian. The memory of Charles will live forever in our hearts, "concluded Kocharyan.
