Israeli city renames park after Charles Aznavour
A park in Petah Tikva, a city in the Central District of Israel, was officially renamed after legendary French-Armenian singer Charles Aznavour on Sunday.
The decision on renaming the park had been unanimously approved by the city council led by Mayor Rami Greenberg, the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem said.
A memorial plaque in the park says: “Charles Aznavour (1924-2018). Singer, songwriter, actor, world-renowned French crooner, who dedicated his life to his homeland Armenia and was bestowed the title of National Hero. During WWII, the Aznavour family saved dozens of Jewish families from extermination.”
