ArmInfo. Protest action of taxi and microbus drivers takes place opposite Yerevan Municipality . Taxi drivers, in particular, demand that their activities be regulated by the Yerevan Municipality administration, and in the regions - by local administrations, and not by the Ministry of Transport, Communications and High Technologies.
They also require clarification of the situation with parking and licensing. In addition to the protests, drivers also made constructive suggestions. Thus, chairman of the League for the Protection of Drivers, Tigran Hovhannisyan, assured that he "led" a design engineer to introduce Mayor Hayk Marutyan, since he wants to open a bus manufacturing company in Armenia. However, according to Hovhannisyan, they have not been able to meet Marutyan for two months and introduce him to a specialist.
And today was not an exception, since adviser to the mayor Albert Gevorgyan told the protesters that Hayk Marutyan did not intend to meet with them. He suggested that drivers form their proposals and requirements in writing, to which Hovhannisyan replied that Marutyan is very familiar with them.
To note, today there are 35 bus lines, 5 trolleybus and 69 minibus lines in Yerevan.
