Macron on Aznavour’s death: We share grief of Armenian, French nation

The French President Emmanuel Macron expressed his condolences over the death of Charles Aznavour.

“Deeply French, but connected with his Armenian roots, recognized all over the world, Charles Aznavour accompanied with his works the joy and sadness of three generations. His masterpieces, his image and light will survive him for a long time.

I invited him to go to the Francophonie summit in Yerevan, where he was supposed to perform. We share the grief of the peoples of Armenia and France,” Macron tweeted.

Profondément français, attaché viscéralement à ses racines arméniennes, reconnu dans le monde entier, Charles Aznavour aura accompagné les joies et les peines de trois générations. Ses chefs-d’œuvre, son timbre, son rayonnement unique lui survivront longtemps.
