PanARMENIAN.Net - Great French-Armenian singer and songwriter Charles Aznavour will be buried in the commune of Montfort-l'Amaury, not far from Paris, according to his last will. Aznavour died at 94 after a career lasting more than 80 years.

Russian media reports suggest that the singer owned a house in Montfort-l'Amori, where he often spent time with his family.

"My land is French land," Aznavour said once. "In the XII century monastery in Monfor-l'Amori, a special small family crypt was built."

The Élysée Palace is also considering the possibility of organizing a ceremony in Yerevan in October to pay tribute Aznavour.

This event can be timed to the summit of the International Organization of La Francophonie in Yerevan on October 11-12.

The performer, born to Armenian immigrants, sold more than 180 million records and featured in over 60 films.

He was best known for his 1974 hit She and was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2017.
