Since early morning today, drivers of the public mini-buses No73 have
blocked the main road from the Nor-Nork district in Yerevan to the
city center.
According to ArmInfo's correspondent, drivers are protesting against
price hike at the gas-filling stations. Meanwhile, the local residents
cannot arrive at work. The situation is critical. Drivers of various
transport routes clash from time to time. The drivers of the public
mini-buses No58 have joined the strike too.
Earlier on Wednesday, drivers of public transport announced a strike
protesting against gasoline price hikes in Yerevan. The point is that
the prices at the gas-filling stations in Yerevan went up by over
20% - from 190 up to 230 drams per cu m. Meanwhile, in the regions,
the prices average at 170 dram per cu m.
Head of the Yerevan Municipality Transport Department Henrik
Navasardyan and other officials of the Municipality have been
negotiating with the protesting drivers since Wednesday. They try to
persuade drivers to resume work, as the gas prices do not depend on
the city administration.
