Several public organizations of Armenia have come forward with a
demand of Transport Minister, Gagik Beglaryan's, resignation because
of the transport collapse in Yerevan.
As the head of the League for Protection of Drivers' Rights Tigran
Hovannisyan said, Beglaryan does not fulfill his obligations and
has not drawn out the needed conceptions to avoid chaos, which the
transport system of the country has found itself in. "The Mayor's
Office adopts decisions about the tariffs, but Transport Ministry
should put the frames which private businessmen cannot break. However,
our ministry does not need that", - he said. He also offered the
minister to set up a commission which will find solution together
with public organizations.
He said that the protesting taxi drivers and drivers of the public
transport have given a week to Beglaryan to reform the system,
otherwise they will take radical measures.
Taxi drivers were displeased with the decision about the paid parking
in Yerevan. If somebody want to park his car for more than 5 minutes,
he should send SMS to the number 1045 (an hour of parking costs 100
drams), and to the number 5045, for 24 hours of parking, which costs
500 drams.
