    MAYORAL DECISIONS INVALID WITHOUT CITY COUNCIL'S APPROVAL - OPPOSITIONIST

    15:06 30.07.13

    Decisions by the Yerevan mayor cannot have a legal effect unless
    approved by the city council, an opposition member of the Yerevan
    Council of Elders has said, commenting on last week's controversial
    decision to hike the public transport fares.

    At a news conference on Tuesday, Stepan Safaryan of the opposition
    Barev Yerevan (Hello Yerevan) bloc claimed the Council has a right to
    establish control over certain activities of the mayor. He expressed
    criticism of the amended rules of procedure, which excludes control
    over urgent matters.

    "So the mayor adopts an individual legal act; as a result, the people,
    as well as the Council of Elders are hesitant as to how the superior
    bodies - which is the council not the mayor - can keep aloof of vital
    issues," he said, promising their faction's rapid efforts to re-amend
    the charter.
