    INITIATIVE SAYS NO TO PAID PARKING BECAUSE CITY IS CONSIDERED PUBLIC PROPERTY - VIDEO

    06.18.2014 17:50 epress.am

    The civic initiative "Get Out of Our Pocket" will pursue the
    implementation of their demands related to the fines for traffic
    violations, speed sensors, and paid parking spaces, said initiative
    members Armen Manvelyan and Artashes Misakyan, speaking to reporters
    outside the government building today.

    The initiative's four main demands are to eliminate the newly
    introduced paid public parking spaces, to lower by five times the fines
    for traffic violations caught by speed sensors and CCTV cameras, to
    cancel the penalties accrued for failing to make payments on previously
    recorded violations, and to freeze the use of CCTV cameras and speed
    sensors for fining drivers, leaving this function to the road police
    until a new, acceptable procedure is adopted.

    According to Manvelyan, all those decisions by the police and Yerevan
    City Hall, to lower from September the fine amounts caught by speed
    sensors, as well as making the previously free 5 minutes to free 15
    minutes of parking, have nothing to do with their demands.

    Misakyan, in turn, said such moves are a temporary illusion: the only
    solution for them would be the removal of the red lines outlining
    the new paid parking spaces.

    "Why should we have to pay to park in our city? It is considered public
    property. The ruling authorities can talk a lot, but let us agree on
    this: we appointed them to serve the interests of the people," he said.

    Members of the initiative said they will present their four demands
    during the vehicle procession "of civil disobedience" to take place
    tomorrow.
