Aznavour not going to make bow
Renowned singer Charles Aznavour is not going to make his bow after assuming the post of Armenia's Ambassador to Switzerland.

"There was time when I performed 130 concerts every year. Now, I reduced the number of concerts to 50-60. But I think there will be time both for diplomatic activities and composing in Geneva," Aznavour said, Vzglyad newspaper reports.

Charles Aznavour accepted Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan's proposal to serve as Armenia's Ambassador to Switzerland a couple of weeks ago.

"I consider it an honor that Armenia wants to see me as its envoy. I had some hesitation at first because it's not an easy mission. But I have come to a conclusion that it's important for Armenia and for all of us," Aznavour said
