Rosy Armen

Rosy Armen was born to Kourchoud Hovhannessian from Dzhagry, Nakhitchevan and to Nvart Alozian from an Armenian suburb of Van.

This success made her a well-known figure not only in France, but also all over Europe, the Soviet Union, United States and the Middle East where there were many Armenian communities and was invited to the imperial coronation as the official singer in October 1967.

[citation needed] In 1970 she took part in the selection rounds to represent Spain at the Eurovision Song Contest 1970, singing "Gwendolyne".

She also sang at the Waldorf Astoria in New York, at the Los Angeles Music Center, at Place des Arts theater in Montreal, and Luzhniki Palace of Sports in Moscow.

In December 2014, during a new ceremony, Rosy Armen received further recognition with "International Music Award" at the Moscow Kremlin, for singing in the countries of the world in different languages including Armenian.
