NAIRA ZOHRABYAN TO HARUTYUN GHARAGYOZYAN: IS WORKING AT A LOSS, LET HIM GIVE UP
July 26 2013 -
Mrs. Zoharbyan, the PAP has actively supported the civil society, youth
in the fight against rises of transport fare. However, once again an
opinion was expressed by the PAP business wing, in particular by the
owner of the line Harutyun Gharagyozyan that the increase of AMD 150
is justified, and that he will be working at a loss in case of AMD
100. May we say that again that there is a clash in the wings in PAP -
No, there is no clash. I repeat, who believes that he is working at
a loss, regardless of what party he is, let them give up this type of
business. This is PAP's ambiguous position. Any increase of the fare
under these extreme social conditions is unacceptable. And if some
people are dissatisfied, I repeat, no matter what party they are,
the basic business rules suggest that they must give up the business.
Anyway, after the publication of the press, I have talked to Harutyun
Gharagyozyan, and of course, he could not disagree with the position
of the party, as he realizes that the increases in fare under
these conditions would worsen people's already being in poor social
conditions. - Mrs. Zohrabyan, though you denied that during these
days the PAP was distributing petrol coupons for free car vehicles,
but the activists thanked Oskanyan's "Civilitas" for providing coupons
for petrol. And Oskanyan is a PAP MP - I was asked whether the Party
has distributed coupons, I have answer, no. Whatever we do, we do it
in an open and transparent way. During these days, our youth wing
took part in the actions of transporting our compatriots free, our
faction of Yerevan Council was actively engaged on this issue and it
was made public, since it was our clear position. And if "Civilitas"
or any other organization, individual, have decided to support this
movement against rising prices of transport in that way, it is also
worthy of respect. - After all, whatever happened, whose victory it
may be considered? - There can not be two opinions here. This is the
victory of civil society in Armenia. This was the victory of those
wonderful young people who were able to clearly and in organized
way present their demands, and fight for their rights. And I am
really proud of those young people. And this was the answer to all
politicians and the analysts stuck on the trough, who days before
were predicting that no movement in Armenia has reached its refuge
and this one will also successfully fade. It did not turn out so,
and our citizens fighting for their rights won.
