Today, at 7 pm, young people blocked Baghramyan Avenue in Yerevan
and demanded releasing Grigor Janikyan, the detained activist of
"We Won't Pay 150 AMD" action.
ArmInfo's correspondent reports from the scene that nearly 500 young
people are taking part in the action of protest against the public
transport fare rise from 100 AMD to 150 AMD. They are chanting
"Slaves!" and "No to the new fare!" The police are still behaving
tactfully and reservedly. The youth are handing out leaflets to the
passengers and urge them to pay 100 AMD instead of 150 AMD.
At the moment, the protesters are chanting Grigor Janikyan's name
and making their way to Mashtots Park to decide their further steps.
To note, since July 20 the residents of Yerevan have been paying
150 AMD to the bus and microbus drivers instead of 100 AMD. The
trolleybus fare is 100 AMD instead of 50 AMD. The metro fare has
remained unchanged - 100 AMD.
