For already 2,000 years the country of my soul – Spain – is connected with Armenia - Julio Iglesias

The first impression world famous singer Julio Iglesias got from Armenia is that people here are very pleasant. Iglesias, who has arrived here from Moscow, was told there that Armenia is a warm country, but arriving here he has understood that it is not the weather but the country’s and people’s warmth.

Speaking to reporters today he said he never gives concerts in countries that are not pleasant for him.

“This is my first visit to Armenia, but not the visit must familiarize me with Armenia. For already 2,000 years the country of my soul – Spain – is connected with Armenia. Our languages are very similar,” the world famous singer said. His concert in Yerevan is scheduled for April 18 in Karen Demirtchyan sport and concert complex.

The organizers of the concert are American Global art and Armenia’s Invintro Production companies.

“I am going to sing here with great love. This is the reason I am in Yerevan today. I do not have many years to live and I am happy to be here, to recognize the country of my Armenian friends,” he said, speaking about world famous singer Charles Aznavour who he called his elder brother.

He said before arriving here he was interested what music Armenians love and said he is going to perform those songs which Armenians love.

The greatest loss in his life, the artist considers time, the greatest achievement – timely death. “People think that they are great dreamers, in reality the people prefer others be dreamers than they,” this is Iglesias’ life’s formula.
