YEREVAN. - If YerevanMunicipalitydoes not meet our demands, we will
take drastic measures.
Hrant Yeghiazaryan, Chairman of the Union of Passenger Transport
Companies of Armenia, stated the above-said at a press conference
on Friday.
He recalled that capital city Yerevan Mayor Taron Margaryan's advisor
had told them that the city hall needs time to get a report on the
passenger flow.
"[But] we cannot wait any longer; they promise us for already five
years. We submitted an open letter to the mayor, [and] to the effect
that we will resort to extreme measures. We are in a financially
extreme state; that is why we agree to wait for only three days,"
Yeghiazaryan stated.
He added, however, that the given drastic measures will not affect
the Yerevan residents and the city's public transport system will
not be interrupted.
But the public transport route owners preferred not to say what
drastic measures they will take.
To note, the Yerevan public transport route operators are discontent
with the activities of the municipality committee which is to set the
cost price of the public transport fare. The representatives of the
public transport companies demand that the public transport fare be
raised to 200 drams (approx. $0.50), instead of the current 100 drams
(approx. $0.25). The NGOs and the political opposition, on the other
hand, harshly criticize them for making such a demand.
