At the moment the Municipality of Yerevan is holding an emergency
meeting.
ArmInfo's source in the Municipality says that the meeting covers
the issue of resignation of all deputy mayors and advisors to Mayor
Taron Margaryan.
Earlier on Friday, ArmInfo reported with reference to the same
source that Head of the Municipality's Transport Department
Henrik Navasardyan, Head of the Public Relations Department Artur
Gevorgyan, as well as Head of Yerevantrans Misak Hambardzumyan sent
in their resignation on Thursday. Maria Baragamyan, employee at the
Municipality's Tourism Department, will replace Artur Gevorgyan. The
Municipality will officially announce their resignation later.
The resignations are conditioned by the situation that arose following
the mayor's decision to raise the public transport fare. Despite Taron
Margaryan's July 25 statement about suspension of the decision on
public transport fare rise, the Let's Pay 100 AMD movement participants
have organized an action of protest in front of the Municipality of
Yerevan. They demand that the decision on the public transport fare
rise should be cancelled, not suspended. In addition, they demand
resignation of Head of the Municipality's Transport Department
Henrik Navasardyan and Head of Yerevantrans Misak Hambardzumyan. The
protesters also demand improving the quality of transport services and
reducing the fare to 50 AMD within the next 7 days so as to compensate
for the Yerevan residents' expenses over the past few days, because
the fare was raised illegally.
