NAIRA ZOHRABYAN THINKS THAT THE REPUBLICAN COUNCILORS WILL BE WISE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SIGNATURE COLLECTION OF SPECIAL COUNCIL SESSION
July 23 2013
To the question of Aravot.am whether you are going to join the action
of "We will not pay 150 drams" organized against the fare rise with
your private or service car, the secretary of Prosperous Armenia
parliamentary faction Naira Zohrabyan responded that she does not
have a personal car, should she have, she would have participated. Mrs.
Zohrabyan said that yesterday all day her young colleagues, PAP MPs
with their private cars participated in the action and transported
those citizens who defending their rights refused to pay 150 drams.
PAP MPs will still take part in the action, today. Note that yesterday
a number of people, showmen, MPs, politicians and others joined in the
action and transported citizens on their own cars. Our interlocutor
informed that, today, the PAP and the "Heritage" factions of Yerevan
City Council will be holding a collection of signatures for a special
council session. "It will be right if the Republican councilor will
not boycott the initiative, will not try to fail the quorum, they will
join to openly and publicly discuss all issues. Finally, there is a
serious contradiction between the statements of the municipality and
the government,"said our interlocutor. Note that among the reasons
for fare increase the City Hall did not mention the increase in gas
prices, and yesterday, in response to ARF's requests, the government
gave a different answer saying that the increase in passengers fees are
directly related to the increase in the gas price." In other words,
there are many issues that the municipality is obliged to provide
explanations. First, why the Council was not informed about the fare
rise, why a Council session is not convened, and the decision was not
presented and why there was no consultation with the council members
and so on. In addition, many economists have also presented reasonably
estimates that the gas price increase was not justified.
YerevanCity authorities should provide a clear explanation to council
fractions about what had happened. I think that it would be wise by
the council of the Republican Party fraction not to participate in the
signature collection for convening a special council session for not
providing a quorum, but if they have nothing to hide, and truly believe
that their arguments are reasonable, they should be very interested
that the special session is convened, and clear answers are given to
all the questions,"- thinks Naira Zurabyan. Nelly Grigoryan
