"Pour toi Arménie" (English translation: "For You, Armenia") is a 1989 song written and composed by Charles Aznavour, and recorded by a group of French singers (and also a few actors and TV presenters) who were popular at the time.
After the earthquake in Armenia, he asked his singers, actors and TV presenters friends to sing with him "Pour toi Arménie", song devoted to help victims of this tragedy.

In addition, "Pour toi Arménie" was a top three hit in Belgium (Wallonia),[6] and debuted at a peak of number four on the European Hot 100 Singles,[7] and remained on the chart for 17 weeks.
