YEREVAN. – Armenia’s opposition Heritage Party is not planning on holding a rally against the capital city Yerevan Municipality decision to raise the public transport fares in the city.   

Heritage’s secretary Stiopa Safaryan, who is also member of the opposition “Barev [Hello], Yerevan” faction in the Yerevan Council of Elders, announced the aforesaid during a press conference on Wednesday. 

In his words, even though the faction members are not sure whether the Administrative Court will examine their petitions to invalidate the two respective decisions by the Mayor of Yerevan, Heritage will not hold a rally on this matter.       

“We demand not only the cancelation of the unlawful decisions of the mayor, but the dismissal of Yerevan Trans Company Director Misak Hambardzumyan and Yerevan Municipality Transport Department Chief Henrik Navasardyan. The law is not exercised in Yerevan Municipality,” Safaryan stressed. 

He added that if the Administrative Court does not examine their petitions, they will appeal to the Constitutional Court of Armenia and the European Court of Human Rights.
