Прощание с Шарлем Азнавуром - сыном Франции и Армении

В пятницу (5 октября), в отеле "des Invalides" в Париже, состоялась церемония прощания с Шарлем Азнавуром, который ушел из жизни на этой неделе. На церемонии присутствовали президент Франции Эмануэль Макрон и премьер-министр Армении Никол Пашинян. Азнавур, легендарный певец и один из самых известных французских деятелей культуры XX-го века, имел армянское происхождение и был тесно связан с его армянским наследием, несмотря на то, что был иконой Франции.

"Мы собрались сегодня, чтобы поклониться и почитать память великого мастера французского шансона, Шарля Азнавура. В течение восьми десятилетий это имя вызывало улыбки на миллионах лиц, возбуждало или успокаивало дыхание десятков миллионов, зажигало огни в глазах сотни миллионов", - сказал премьер-министр Пашинян на церемонии прощания.

Со своей стороны президент Макрон сказал: "В течение многих лет голос Шарля Азнавура объединял нас, независимо от нашего возраста и социального статуса. Азнавур объединил нас и стал одним из лиц Франции. Песни Азнавура - это прежде всего стихи, тексты которые живут в наших сердцац, названия этих стихов и песни, которые стали для нас наследием".

"Я уверен, что в течение многих лет миллионы людей в трудные для себя времена, будут питать надежду и счастье из музыки или текстов песен, покинувшего нас первоклассного творца. Он продолжит свой путь в наших сердцах, идя, с рукой в кармане, с улыбкой на лице, и вместе с нами он с гордостью пройдет это столетие. Теперь уже он никогда не покинет нас, потому что поэты во Франции никогда не умирают".

Азнавур будет похоронен в субботу. В этот день в Армении будут приспущены флаги.

Dozens participate in new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue process as societies prepare for the signing of historic peace agreement

The governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have recently agreed the text of a historic peace agreement that ends years of animosity and warfare. The agreement is expected to be signed soon. LINKS Europe, which has a long history of engagement with the process of peace in the region, recently launched a new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue format in the framework of the European Union's EU4Peace initiative. In the last two weeks dozens of Armenians and Azerbaijanis, including academics, students, civil society activists, journalists and other professionals, many of them young, were involved. The work is organised in five thematic groups focusing on peace and security, connectivity, environment, governance and gender and equality and in phase 2 of the project, which has just ended, around fifty participants took part in in-person and online meetings, and more than twenty others were involved indirectly. The Chairpersons of the five thematic groups met in Vilnius, 3-6 July to launch the third phase of the program. The five thematic groups are now working on separate reports, which are expected to be finished in November and presented to the two governments and other stakeholders. The reports will outline a vision, up to 2040.
