The optimal fare for public transport services in Yerevan should be decided at a public discussion. In fact, such a discussion should have been held before the rise, Former Speaker of the Armenian Parliament, MP from the ruling Republican Party Samvel Nikoyan told journalists on Thursday.
"On the other hand, the rise was a response to growing prices for cars, spare parts and fuel, on the other hand, there has been no raise in wages. There is something positive and rational in what the protesters are saying. There are no unsolvable problems," Nikoyan said.
