In an interview with the AFP news agency, the world-famous French singer of Armenian descent Charles Aznavour called for help for migrants who arrive in Europe.

“I experience real suffering when I see these people and their children wandering around. Luckily I escaped a similar fate, but I am sure my immigrant parents passed through such hardships,” the legendary singer said strwssing the need for measures to improve the condition of migrants.

In this connection Aznavour recalled the idea (proposed by him earlier) of settling migrants in remote French villages and small towns virtually abandoned by local residents. There are doctors, motor mechanics, bakers and other specialists among them, which will enable to open schools and post offices in those small towns. In this case France will be described as an exemplary country, the legendary singer said.

He did not rule out his participation in joint efforts of several singers and composers to create a new song on this subject, like the song composed in 1989 to help Armenia in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake.
