More than 35 tons of humanitarian aid was collected in France and Switzerland by the Aznavour Foundation and its various partners to be sent to Armenia.

The foundation has announced that part of this aid will leave on November 27 in a plane chartered by the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs within the framework of the humanitarian support announced by French President Emmanuel Macron.

Kristina Aznavour, the CEO of the Aznavour Foundation, will arrive from France and personally take part in the distribution process together with the foundation’s team in Armenia.

Numerous organizations all over France and Switzerland, as well as individuals of Armenian and non-Armenian decent participated in collecting this considerable amount of humanitarian aid.

“Armenia always held a special place in Charles Aznavour’s heart. He has become a symbol for earthquake survivors in Gyumri and stood next to Armenian people in the happiest as well as in the saddest days. Nowadays, his legacy and vision continue through the Aznavour Foundation and we stand with Armenians in these difficult times,” said Nicolas Aznavour, Co-founder and Chairman of the Board of directors of the Aznavour Foundation.
