ArmInfo.While one is being imprisoned for stealing two eggs, those who stole millions go unpunished, the French chansonnier of Armenian origin Charles Aznavour said an interview with the French edition of Nouvelles d'Armenie, Radio Azatutyun reports. As Aznavour stressed, this is unacceptable for him. "We must understand that we have a beautiful country for development, otherwise one day it may disappear like some ancient civilizations. And the responsibility for this will be borne by the leaders of Armenia," Aznavour said.
According to the world famous singer, he spoke with the leaders of Armenia on this topic: "I do not spare them. I say what I think. " Aznavour said that he is trying to make his work so that Armenia has many friends. "I encourage people to invest in Armenia, devote themselves to Armenia."
According to him, the course of Armenia is now quite good, it is moving forward, some things are good, but the main obstacle is the stigma of the communist system, for which there is still a short way to get rid of.
Chansonier also touched upon the theme of the Charles Aznavour Foundation, which replaces the Aznavour for Armenia Union, created after the devastating 1988 earthquake. Aznavour noted that his fund continues to implement previous humanitarian programs to help people who have been left homeless, but will also engage in cultural activities.
Aznavour also spoke about the former and current presidents of France, Francois Hollande and Emmanuel Macron. "We must still give him the opportunity to work, we must show him trust," Aznavour said, adding that he intends to invite Macron to Armenia.
"We need to prepare this invitation in such a way that it is useful for Armenia," he said.
93-year-old Charles Aznavour continues to give concerts. His solo concert took place the week before last in the largest concert hall in Paris. Aznavour will give concerts in several cities of France from January 20 to February 6.
