Anna Hakobyan, the wife of the Prime Minister, has posted a video on her Facebook page about traffic jams in Yerevan. According to her, the city is experiencing a construction boom, and getting from one point to another requires "the health of an astronaut." Hakobyan noted that finding a solution to the problem is part of certain people's job duties and also referred to construction permits. Her remarks were interpreted as criticism of Yerevan Mayor Tigran Avinyan.
