Charles Aznavour will be at St. Peter’s Square Wednesday for the
General Audience of Pope Francis.
Adnkronos.com reports, citing its sources in Vatican, that the
French-Armenian artist will meet the Pope at the end of the Audience.
A meeting between the Pope and the world’s most popular Armenian takes
even greater significance given that 2015 marks the 100th anniversary
of the Armenian Genocide.
On this occasion, Aznavour will propose Pope Francis to hold a concert
in the Vatican to commemorate the centenary of the genocide.
Remind that Pope Francis will celebrate a Mass at Basilica of San
Pietro in April 12 to commemorate the Armenian Genocide. The Catholcios
of All Armenians is expected to attend the Mass.
