Scores of activists gathered in front of the Yerevan Municipality
this afternoon to demand the resignation of Transportation Department
Head Henrik Navasardyan and Misak Hambardzoumyan, Director of Yerevan
Trans Ltd.
Yesterday, in a policy reversal, Yerevan Mayor Taron Margaryan
temporarily suspended the fare hikes announced a week ago.
A phalanx of police barred the protesters from handing their ultimatum
Municipality officials.
In return, the activists staged a sit-down, stating that they wouldn't
leave until their demands were met.
The activists also demanded that Mayor Margaryan make public the
documents, based on which, he allowed the 50% fare hikes in the
first place.
Another demand being made is that the Municipality assumes operational
control of public transportation in the Armenian capital.
