Presidents of Armenia, France Serzh Sargsyan and Nicolas Sarkozy together with world famous singer Charles Aznavour participated today in the opening of house-museum of Charles Aznavour. The guests toured in the museum and got acquainted with the presented samples.

The house museum of Charles Aznavoru situated in front of Ararat is the gift of the Armenian people to their great son.

Speaking to reporters chief architect of Yerevan Narek Sargsyan said the construction of the building started in late 2007. "It is not a museum in its classical sense and it is not a house, it has an interesting symbol", Narek Sargsyan stressed.

"The very architectural idea was entrance to the homeland, to the country of Ararat", he said. The building is five-storeyed, the two upper stores are the places to live in. There are two bedrooms, kitchen, study with all its conveniences.

The first part of the first floor will serve as a showing room, the other part is the reception hall and a concert hall for 120 people.

The architect also informed that during these two years many materials have been transported to the museum from Charles Aznavour Fund – biographic books, awards, photos.
