Armenia Unveils Statue Honoring Charles Aznavour, Captured in Striking Photo by Essam Nagi

Armenia has unveiled a new statue commemorating the life and legacy of legendary French-Armenian singer and songwriter Charles Aznavour, in a public tribute to his profound influence on music, culture, and Armenian identity.

The statue honors Aznavour’s extraordinary career, which spanned more than eight decades and earned him global acclaim. A symbol of national pride, the monument has quickly become a point of reflection and admiration.

Egyptian filmmaker and photographer Essam Nagi, who lives in Armenia, captured a striking image of the statue that beautifully conveys both the artistic detail and the emotional weight of the tribute.

The photo was shared on the Armenian National Committee of Egypt's community page on Facebook, which also extended special thanks to Nagi for donating the image.

“Essam Nagi’s lens has captured not just a statue, but the spirit of Aznavour and the deep connection he holds within Armenian hearts,” the page noted.

Aznavour, who passed away in 2018, was known not only for his iconic voice and songwriting but also for his lifelong dedication to humanitarian causes and advocacy for Armenia. The newly unveiled statue stands as a lasting reminder of his enduring legacy and the cultural bridge he helped build between Armenia and the world.
