US-Armenians honor Aznavour with Hollywood star

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, AFP reports.

Aznavour, often dubbed France's Frank Sinatra, said he was "deeply moved" by the recognition, which is not on Hollywood Boulevard's main Walk of Fame but rather consists of a symbolic star dedicated by the Armenian community.

The singer said he was "deeply moved" by the recognition.

The star is not on Hollywood Boulevard's main Walk of Fame but was dedicated by the Armenian community on a nearby stretch of sidewalk.

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