Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II and Mayor of Yerevan Tator Margaryan own microbus lines in Yerevan, Ruzanna Gevorgyan, an activist of the Let's Pay 100 AMD movement, told journalists on Wednesday.
"Among the other owners are MP from the ruling Republican Party Galust Sahakyan and his son, President of the Football Federation of Armenia, MP Ruben Hayrapetyan, MP Ruben Gevorgyan. So, it was their initiative to raise the public transport fare in Yerevan," Gevorgyan said.
Concerning the absence of the Armenian President from the country, the activist said that they were a civil rather than political movement. "It is for the mayor rather than the president to solve this problem," she said.
