    A memorial plaque in the park says: “Charles Aznavour (1924-2018). Singer, songwriter, actor, world-renowned French crooner, who dedicated his life to his homeland Armenia and was bestowed the title of National Hero. During WWII, the Aznavour family saved dozens of Jewish families from extermination.”
