Georgian town of Akhalkalaki to name street and park after Aznavour

The municipal authorities of the Akhalkalaki, Georgia (Samtskhe-Javakheti region) have made a decision to name a street and park after Charles Aznavour.

The idea to honor the great French-Armenian crooner was proposed by residents of the Armenian-populated Georgian town, Jnews.ge reports.

Aznavour’s father, Mammikon Aznavourian, was an Akhaltskhe-born Armenian.

The legendary singer passed away on October 1 in his apartment in Paris aged 94.
