Charles Aznavour honored with Hollywood Star

Charles Aznavour honored with Hollywood Star

YEREVAN, OCTOBER 28, ARMENPRESS. French-Armenian prominent singer Charles Aznavour was honored with a Hollywood Star, Daily Mail reports.

“French singing legend Charles Aznavour, one of the 20th century's most prolific songwriters who remains active at 92, was honored Thursday with a Hollywood star presented by California's Armenians”, Daily Mail writes.

Aznavour, sometimes known as France’s Frank Sinatra, said he is “deeply moved” by the recognition.

“I've been coming to Hollywood for years and I've worked a lot in the United States. America is the land of show business”, Aznavour told AFP.

Speaking about the Armenian Genocide, Aznavour said: “What I find very funny is that Turkey lost something. They don't have a single great singer and I could have been a Turkish singer, while today I'm a French singer”, Aznavour said. "Which goes to show that there's no purpose to genocide as there are always survivors”.

Daily Mail writes that Aznavour has written hundreds of songs during his 80 year musical career, has sold more than 100 million records worldwide. He remains energetic and says he still feels excitement before the crowd.

“I feel like I'm meeting my family, whether they're Italian or Spanish or from elsewhere. The audience is part of my family. The stage is where I'm happiest”, Aznavour said.

The French-Armenian singer said he is not finished. "I always have 40 songs ahead of me. I write every day”, he stated.
