YEREVAN, AUGUST 16, ARMENPRESS. The Host of LBCI (Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation International), which is the country’s first private TV company, Marcel Ghanem insulted prominent French-Armenian chansonier Charles Aznavour calling him “senile” for the viewpoint he expressed regarding the issue of prosecuted Christians of the East. Aznavour suggested moving the prosecuted minorities of the east to unpopulated villages and areas of France to revive them.
Nouvelles d'Armenie reports that the journalist of Aypoupen.com Garabet Kotchounian has publiclyaddressed Marcel Ghanem at the course of “Kalam Ennas” talk show. As reports “Armenpress”, Garabet Kotchounian underscored: “We are living in a free world, where anyone can express his opinion and suggestions, as a journalist of course you can criticize this and that, direct the audience as if this is a bad call or not, perhaps suggest a better alternative, but to insult a man like Charles Aznavour is really a bad call to get some ratings on LBCI… We know where the Channel in general and your show particularly stands these days, but it is not our objective to go through that subject. Our one and only demand is from you to correct the mistake that you have made…”
