A crowd of protesters has gathered outside the Government building
to express its anger over the 50% hike in the public transport fares.
Chanting the slogans one-hund-red (100 Drams), the demonstrators are
urging for Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan's resignation. The protest
continues while the cabinet is holding its regular Thursday session.
A former presidential candidate, Andreas Ghukasyan, has joined the
crowd which is becoming thicker little by little.
The members of the group, "We Pay 100 Drams" have decided to head
to the bus stops where they regularly maintain a vigil to call on
the passengers of buses and minibuses not to pay more than they did
before the controversial decision became effective.
The activists have been joined by representatives of local government
bodies, community facilities staff and government agencies.
"We can combine efforts to get the decision on fare rise invalidated,"
their cry out. The freedom-fighters staging a sit-down protest in
Freedom Square have joined as well.
