Pro-Russia or nationalist parties are trying to end his eight-year rule and accuse him of making too many concessions to Azerbaijan in an effort to win peace.<\/p>\n<p>Note: this video was updated on 05\/05\/26. A previous version of this post mentioned that Macron was singing La Boh\u00e8me by Charles Aznavour. However, in this clip he appears to be singing Les Feuilles Mortes by Yves Montand. Other videos on social media showed him singing La Boh\u00e8me.<\/p>\n<p>#macron #armenia #emmanuelmacron<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Macron sings as Armenian PM plays drums at state dinner The French president, Emmanuel Macron, was seen crooning&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":21114,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[11599,24224,24222,24223,24215,24231,24193,24217,59,50,24226,24225,2209,24228,240,261,24194,24230,24221,24216,24213,24218,24214,24219,24220,31,17802,24227,247,24229,1442,24195,8095],"class_list":{"0":"post-21113","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-guardian-news","8":"tag-armenia","9":"tag-armenia-latest","10":"tag-armenia-news","11":"tag-armenia-today","12":"tag-armenian","13":"tag-banger","14":"tag-charles-aznavour","15":"tag-emannuel-macron","16":"tag-emmanuel-macron","17":"tag-france","18":"tag-france-latest","19":"tag-france-news","20":"tag-french","21":"tag-french-president","22":"tag-guardian","23":"tag-guardian-news","24":"tag-la-boheme","25":"tag-macron-for-sure","26":"tag-macron-news","27":"tag-macron-sing","28":"tag-macron-singing","29":"tag-macron-singing-in-armenia","30":"tag-macron-singing-la-boheme","31":"tag-macron-sings-la-boheme","32":"tag-macron-song","33":"tag-news","34":"tag-nikol-pashinyan","35":"tag-politician-singing","36":"tag-politics","37":"tag-president-macron","38":"tag-the-guardian","39":"tag-vahagn-khatchatourian","40":"tag-yerevan"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21113","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21113"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21113\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21114"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21113"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21113"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
