World famous French-Armenian singer and song-writer Charles Aznavour will sing Georgia’s Armenian-populated city, Akhalskhe, on August 16 in the frameworks of a festive concert dedicated to the opening of Rabat fortress.

Citing Georgia’s Rustavi 2 TV Channel, Gruzia Online reports that the singer will appear on stage with a 25-member band, performing his hits for about an hour and thirty minutes.

The Georgian authorities have fully restored the fortress which had been reduced to ruins. The activities reportedly lasted 10 month. The amphitheatre where Aznavour is to sing will be completed soon.
