Over 100 taxi drivers have started protests at the government's
building against new licensing rules. They have blocked the nearby
road with their cars, News Armenia reports.
Vage Gabriyelyan, one of the demonstrators, said that the new licensing
rules oblige taxi drivers to pay 12,000 drams. In reality, he explains,
licensing will cost them over 30,000 drams because taxi drivers will
need to pay for the license itself and for the meter, a gas license
and other things.
Deputy Minister for Transport and Communication Artur Arakelyan
persuaded the protesters to choose five people who would discuss the
problem with the authorities at the government.
