YEREVAN. – If the protests against the public transport fare hike gather momentum and the danger of a social riot rises, Armenia’s authorities, specifically the capital city Yerevan Municipality, will review their decision of raising the fare, Hraparak daily reports.     

“It is true that [Yerevan Mayor] is categorically against the tactics of ‘eating his words,’ and he told [his] close circles that this is ruled out. But some sources, which are close to the authorities, do not discard this option, either,” Hraparak writes.
