From his marriages six children were born: Séda (1946), Patrick (1951), Charles (1952), Katia (1969), Mischa (1972) and Nicolas (1977). He lived with his wife Ulla six months a year in southern France and the rest of the year in Geneva in Switzerland. In Saint-Sulpice, on Lake Geneva, they had a new house built in 2012.

In December 2008 he was granted Armenian citizenship.
