Well-known Russian singer, People's Artist of USSR Iosif Kobzon is
giving a concert in Yerevan today in the framework of his tour of 25
cities in 17 countries.
During a press-conference today Kobzon said that he is happy to give
a concert in Armenia. He will sing pre-war, lyrical and patriotic
songs as well as songs in Armenian. He noted that Armenian composer
Arno Babajanyan is one of his favorites. "He is a musician of global
significance. Just like Charles Aznavour, he is not just Armenian. He
is a unique artist."
Asked about the forthcoming parliamentary elections, Kobzon said
that he has no right to speak in favor or against anybody. "I can
just say that I sympathize with your young and energetic president,"
Kobzon said.
This year Kobzon is marking his 70 birthday. Before Yerevan he
has given concerts in Sofia, Baku and Tbilisi. "Despite tensed
relations between Georgia and Russia, Georgians gave him most cordial
welcome. The same was in Azerbaijan." "All conflicts happen because
of politicians rather than ordinary people," Kobzon said.
