"Pour toi Arménie" (For You, Armenia) may become the new national anthem of Armenia, Renowned French-Armenian singer Charles Aznavour said during Le Club de Richard Findykian radio show, Ararat News reports. 

"’Pour toi Arménie’ could become the new anthem; that’s what I want," he added. "[Armenian] President Serzh Sargsyan—and not only he—agrees with me."

Aznavour also told about his recent trip to Armenia.

"All my children were baptized in the Armenian Church; [my son] Nicolas was not an exception," noted Aznavour. "Nicolas was baptized [recently] in Armenia, and he chose my father’s name (Mikayel) [as his baptismal name]. I thought about my parents during the baptism."

Besides, the world-renowned singer spoke about the establishment of Aznavour Foundation.

"This foundation will help Armenians around the world," he said. "The first project of Aznavour Foundation is the founding of a museum that will not only become an interactive museum, but a youth center, a tourist destination."
