July 23, 2013 | 17:36
YEREVAN. - Armenian Ombudsman Karen Andreasyan has addressed the
municipality in connection with the rise in transport fares.
The human rights defender said his office had applied to the
municipality with a request to provide legal and economic justification
of the decision.
"We are trying to be unbiased and professional as much as possible in
our assessments," he said during the Tuesday press conference. "For
me it is strange that only 3-4 months ago Yerevan mayor promised that
there will be no price hike. I'm curious about the studies which will
be provided to my office by the municipality. What has changed in 4
months to change the expectations of the mayor?"
Karen Andreasyan expressed his admiration for those who are carrying
citizens on their vehicles free of charge. The participation of
intellectuals is an indicative of developing civil society, he added.
