said the singer, reports Spanish El Pais.

Armenia offered me to become the Ambassador of Armenia to Geneva. I
felt very proud and happy that day. But the other day I thought more
carefully and under stood that I would lose my free life if I accepted
the offer. If the Government of Armenia makes a decision I dislike,
I will feel bad," said Aznavour.
