YEREVAN. – Armenian activists offer the government to officially declare July 25 “Armenian Youth Day”.

The movement struggling against rise in transport fares has launched a signature campaign on Change.org website to declare July 25 “Armenian Youth Day.”

As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, the Yerevan Municipality decision to increase public transport fares in the city had brought about outbursts, several groups were formed in the social networks, and the initiatives were staging protests and distributing pamphlets against this decision. In addition, the “Free Car” initiative was launched, along the lines of which Armenia’s numerous well-known personalities, MPs, and ordinary residents were providing—with their own vehicles—free transportation to the people. On Thursday, the Mayor of Yerevan Taron Margaryan canceled his decision to increase the fares.
