Serj Tankian: “The best songs are the peace songs”
“At last I had a chance to come to Armenia, and my music will sound here for the first time,” soloist of the “System of a Down” rock band Serj Tankian told the media in Yerevan.
“The best songs are the peace songs. No matter where you live, it is important that you put your soul, your freedom in your songs,” musician said stressing that with their songs they demand acceptance and recognition of the Armenian Genocide.
Tankian said he is set to visit Tsitsernakaberd memorial complex of Armenian Genocide saying humorously that “U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called him for visiting Tsitsernakaberd, not as a musician, but as an individual.”
According to Serj Tankian, many musicians in the West commemorate April 24 with special actions.
