L'Aznavour Center è un museo interattivo e centro culturale nella parte alta della collina del Cascade a Yerevan, un progetto a cui Charles Aznavour lavorò personalmente negli ultimi due anni della sua vita. Le fonti collocano l'apertura in due fasi: l'edificio fu inaugurato nel 2011 (alla presenza di Nicolas Sarkozy e dell'allora presidente Serzh Sargsyan), mentre l'esposizione interattiva completa — 10 sale che ripercorrono la vita di Aznavour dalla storia familiare alla fama mondiale, con audioguida narrata dalla sua stessa voce — fu completata in seguito. Tra gli oggetti esposti: dischi, libri, premi e locandine; l'edificio ospita anche concerti, mostre e conferenze, oltre a un programma educativo di cinema, musica e francese (in parte attraverso i testi delle canzoni di Aznavour). Cosa fare: visitare le 10 sale espositive con audioguida, ammirare cimeli personali (premi, locandine, registrazioni), assistere a concerti/mostre/conferenze secondo il calendario, seguire corsi di francese o di musica/cinema.
