    Beloved international crooner and Armenia's Ambassador to Switzerland,
    French-Armenian Charles Aznavour unveiled a stone cross (khachkar)
    in Versailles, France on Sunday (May 30).

    The cross, made in Armenia, was unveiled on the anniversary of the
    Treaty of Versailles, and honors Armenian veterans of WWII who fought
    for France, as well as victims of the Armenian Genocide.

    Antoine Bagdikian, president of the National Association of Armenian
    Veterans), organizer of the event, said: "We are not here to seek
    revenge. We only ask that justice be done after all these years. We
    give thanks to France that was the first to recognize this genocide."
