"I DO NOT TRUST TARON MARGARYAN, BECAUSE I SEE THE WORK." ARMEN POGHOSYAN (VIDEO)
July 19 2013
On July 20, the price for fixed route traffic will increase: the fare
for fixed route minibuses will be AMD 150, trolley buses AMD 100.
Aravot.am, in the talk with the President of the Association of
Consumers Armen Poghosyan, inquired whether this chain of rises in
prices can lead to a social explosion. He answered,- "Economic issues
grow into social, social into political. I do not see a risk of social
explosion, and I would like this kind of phenomena take place." Mr.
Poghosyan considers necessary that there will be a civic activism in
the issue of rise in transport, but at the same time he notes that
they are not influential. He noted,- "If the same thing happened in
Paris, or RF, there would be larger groups of people on the streets."
In response to the observation that months ago there were talks about
safe Armenia, while now people are facing such problems, maybe it
resulted in disappointment, so answered Mr. Poghosyan,- "Unfortunately,
the debate of professionals, government and the state does not take
place neither in the form, nor by the content. It is also a stimulus
for people to express their discontent." We were interested to know as
to whose the largest share of the blame is in the issue of transport
fare increase, A. Pogosyan answered,- "We have an electoral power,
the council, which has more power than the mayor.
But neither the mayor, nor the council have this compassionate
approach and adequate level of competency. There is an international
grand master in the council, whose potential I trust in, the others
do not inspire confidence." To our question whether he trusts in
Taron Margaryan, A. Pogosyan answered,- "I do not trust, because I
see the work ... and not only this city mayor, but also the previous
ones. I do not see rational development plan and implementation in
the transport sector."
