My favorite armenian is Charles Aznavour.
Actually, it is very hard to choose one very famous Armenian because there are a lot of Armenians who are very popular, educated. But I have one favourite, though my peer has also chosen him, as I like him so much, I also chose him as my favourite. What I like about him is that he had a very difficult childhood, he was a very poor guy but he became a well known popular singer, the legend of French chanson, composer and actor. He is the author of 1300 songs and has sold 200 million copies of discs all over the world.
Shahnur Vakhinak Aznavuryan is the real name of the world-famous French chansonnier of Armenian origin Charles Aznavour. His mother was born to an Armenian family who lived in Turkey.
Charles Aznavour has always been proud of being as an Armenian, he had done a lot of charities to Armenians, especially during the earthquake.
A year later, the artist created a music video for the song “For You, Armenia”, which was shot by 90 singers and actors. The single has a circulation of 1 million copies. In 2001 Chansonnier supported the decision of the French Parliament to recognize the Armenian people’s genocide, and a year later the film “Ararat” by Atom Egoyan was released, which touched upon this vital topic. Charles Aznavour played Edward Saroyan’s main character in the film.
On October 1, 2018, Charles Aznavour died at the age of 95. The great musician died in his house in the south of France. According to doctors, Aznavour was in the bath when he developed lung swelling. This led to cardiorespiratory failure. An accidental drowning as the cause of death is ruled out.
