Collaboration between the Aznavour Foundation and The Ministry of ESC

We know how important it is for the younger generation to have role models and sources of inspiration, those who guide and encourage them. Having this in mind and being faithful to our mission of supporting educational projects, we have signed an MoU with the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of the Republic of Armenia aimed at creating new opportunities for young and talented people who choose art as their career path.

In 2018 the Aznavour Foundation and Aznavour family members received requests for the naming of the Yerevan State College of Culture after Charles Aznavour. The Foundation’s Chairman Nicolas Aznavour and CEO Kristina Aznavour visited the college in 2018, had meetings with the management and students. After those meetings and discussions, the permission letter was signed.
“We are happy to cooperate with the Ministry and bring changes to the lives of thousands of young people. I am sure that thanks to this collaboration the College will become more attractive and successful. Charles Aznavour’s career path was full of obstacles and challenges, but his determination and hard work brought him to the highest levels in his field. I want our younger generation to be inspired by his example and always strive for excellence”
says Kristina Aznavour, CEO of the Aznavour Foundation.
