27 March, 2025

The event was organized by the Embassy of Armenia in Lithuania in collaboration with the Embassy of France and the French Institute. The exhibition featured photographs by renowned French-Armenian photographer and close friend of Aznavour, Roger Kasparian. These photographs, taken during the 1960s and 1970s at the legendary singer’s concerts, captured Aznavour in various moments and alongside prominent personalities.

During the event, the Ambassador of Armenia, Ara Margarian, and the Ambassador of France, Alix Everard, delivered speeches. Ambassador Margarian spoke about Aznavour as both a cultural and public figure, highlighting his contributions to Armenia and France, his humanitarian work, and the significance of his musical legacy for Francophonie

The event was attended by ambassadors accredited in Vilnius, diplomats, representatives of academic circles, and members of the Armenian and French communities. Roger Kasparian’s daughter, Lydia, was also present who had generously granted the rights to exhibit her father’s photographs.
