During the Thursday government meeting, Minister of Transport and Communication Gagik Beglaryan said the strategy envisages allocation of funds for adjusting public transportation for the needs of elderly and invalids.

“90% of transport organizations are private. It is unclear how we can allocate budget funds to help elderly and invalids,” Belgaryan noted.

In his turn Asatryan said the assistance will be provided by international donor organizations.

Premier Sargsyan supported Beglaryan saying the strategy must indicate clearly how to help elderly and invalids. The government must elaborate standards on public transport for private entities. Budget funds will be allocated only for elaboration of standards, he added.
