They said, we&#8217;ll resolve it. Till today they are resolving it. I am sure that the major roads entering Yerevan are blocked on the orders of [Armenian President] Serzh Sargsyan.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Go ahead and criticize me, but I don&#8217;t believe that the toilets are closed on Serzh Sargsyan&#8217;s orders. I say this as Sargsyan&#8217;s old friend. Serzh, I beg you, open the toilets. It&#8217;s been 10 years since I&#8217;ve had a private meeting with him, but now I say: Serzh, prove to these people that you can solve at least one problem. Otherwise, it&#8217;s embarrassing \u2014 we&#8217;re\u00a0 being disgraced in front of the whole world,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p><em>Archival photo of Levon Ter-Petrossian (on the right) and Serzh Sargsyan (in glasses on the left): 7or.am.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday someone asked me, when are they going to open the toilets, said Armenian National Congress (HAK) leader Levon Ter-Petrossian&#8230;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":132789,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tstyn_error":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[65942,21114,11268,33072,10355],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132949"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132949"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132949\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/132789"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132949"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132949"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
