MAYOR'S ISSUE IN THE DOMAIN OF SPECIAL INVESTIGATION
Mayor Taron Margaryan, after a five-day silence, finally spoke to his
"dear Yerevan residents" and cancelled his decision which had gathered
additional 50 AMD during the previous five days for public transport.
His statement says no word about the decree on the decision on increase
of transport fare that was searched for five days and other grounds
for the increase which was doubted by specialists and NGOs.
Today Azatagrum (Liberation) initiative, prior to the protest in
front of the City Hall, issued a statement releasing all the demands
including compensation for the damage caused by the decision on
transport fare increase during the last five days. They demand to
set the transport price at 50 AMD for 5 days.
The initiative recalls also about the drivers who were caused
moral-psychological harm by the owners of transport lines who repressed
them during five days.
Recall the decision of the Mayor on the price increase appeared only
after the official letter of the Ombudsman to the Mayor who asked to
answer whether the Mayor signed the decision on the public transport
price increase. Since the decision dated four days after the increase,
the money gathered during those 4 days could be an illegal action.
At the same time, Heritage member, member of the NA standing commission
on state and legal issues Zaruhi Postanjyan submitted a report on
crime to the police, prosecutor general and prime minister asking
to take up measures against the illegal money gathering by Taron
Margaryan and to punish all participants.
Minister of justice Hrayr Tovmasyan said on July 25 that Taron
Margaryan's decision does not contain any legal violation. It was a
personal decision and could also not be issued, he said.
At yesterday's session of the government, prime minister Tigran
Sargsyan said that it is impossible to ignore the social movement
with regards to the transport fare. But this statement didn't stop
the civil activists and they are not protesting at the City Hall
demanding to fulfill their requests. One of them is to de-privatize
the transport system and return it to the community.
