Relocation Project as a Tribute to Charles Aznavour Humanitarian Mission:
Brand New Home for the Large Family of Malkhasyans
Charles Aznavour is also known for his considerable philanthropic work. The artist made a lasting impression with the mobilization he created with “Pour toi Arménie” for the victims of the tragic earthquake that struck Armenia on December 7, 1988. Charles Aznavour was also involved in the
fight against cancer and Alzheimer’s disease and assisted greatly the victims of the earthquake in Haiti.
Pursuing his mission to support those in need, the Aznavour Foundation launched a social resettlement program for earthquake affected families still living in temporary shelters in Gyumri, providing decent housing to nearly a hundred people since 2018.
Paying tribute to the humanitarian legacy of Charles Aznavour on the eve of his birthday, the Aznavour Foundation and an anonymous donor gifted a new house to the Malkhasyan family from Gyumri.

Brand New Home for the Large Family of Malkhasyans
After living in a temporary shelter for more than two decades, the Malkhasyan family of nine finally received a certificate of property and the key to
their new home from the Aznavour Foundation. After spending numerous difficult, cold and dark years without electricity and decent heating in their shelter house, the family has finally moved to the new spacious apartment, leaving behind heavy memories of the earthquake and the resulting home loss.
Siranush Malkhasyan was only 7 years old when they started to live in the shelter house, now the 33 – year – old young woman says that she never stopped believing in
having a real home one day: “Now we have our own home, and it is such a relief: we are so glad now, and happy to think that we can attend to the needs of our children,
so that they have what they need and not have a childhood like ours. One should never lose hope. We should look ahead, and always try to move forward, because
God is great and, thank God, there are kind people in the world”, says Siranush Malkhasyan, survivor of the 1988 earthquake.
Pursuing its mission to support those in need, the Aznavour Foundation and ananonymous donor gifted a new house to the Malkhasyan family. “Our dreams, goals
and aspirations are often connected to the quality of life we have. If people are focused only on their problems and difficulties of the past, it often blocks their goals
and limits their steps towards bigger plans.
To reclaim the pride of ownership after losing everything is a tremendous achievement and the Aznavour Foundation is
happy to support one more family on their journey to a better future.
Standing by those in need and raising their issues a re Charle s Aznavour’s values that we keep and spread”,
underlines Kristina Aznavour, CEO of the Aznavour foundation.
The Aznavour Foundation is grateful to its donors for the continuous support of the social resettlement project and looks forward to new partnerships, which will allow for
further implementation of this initiative.
