YEREVAN, October 13. /ARKA/. Artak Shaboyan, chairman of the Armenian
State Commission for Protection of Economic Competition, promised
Thursday to tackle the problem with taxi parking outside Yerevan's
Zvartnots Airport.
According to Armenian media reports, the airport has concluded
contracts with two taxi services, whose taxis will enjoy an exclusive
right for parking just outside the airport's arrivals hall.
Other taxi services expressed their displeasure over this action
saying it disadvantaged them. They said that all the taxi services
have received their licenses from the transport and communication
ministry and they should enjoy equal opportunities.
"I learned about this problem today morning and ordered scrutiny
over probable irregularities," he said. "If irregularities are found,
administrative proceedings will be launched."
Representatives of the airport have reportedly said that the airport
had bee guided by certain criteria in selecting taxi services - these
services' taxis have air-conditioners and they are fueled by petrol,
not gas.
They said other services' taxi derivers can park their cars on another
area allocated by Zvartnots for that.
