When asked to give his opinion of Armenian presidents, Charles Aznavour stated, “I believe all 3 presidents of Armenia to be meaning well. However, there are situations, capable of affecting the goals and will of people. In any case, none of the presidents ever refused my requests.” “These days, I’m trying to discover a difference between an “Armenian” and a “Diaspora Armenian”. Contrary to common notions, Diaspora Armenian is not someone who owns a boutique and goes on about the Armenian Genocide. It can’t be that simple,” the Ambassador said. ![]() ![]() Charles Aznavour Charles Aznavour was born in Paris on May 22, 1924, the son of Armenian immigrants from Turkey.
