France paid tribute to Charles Aznavour on Friday in a solemn and subdued ceremony. Aznavour, who was one of France's most famous singers and actors, died earlier this week at the age of 94. French president Emmanuel Macron welcomed Armenia Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan at the ceremony, where other notable politicians and celebrities were also in attendance. According to TheWrap, Aznavour was born to Armenian parents who fled to Paris in the 1920s. Throughout his eight-decade career, Aznavour never forgot his Armenian roots, campaigning internationally to lift "Armenia to the roof of the world."
