ArmInfo. Some Yerevan transport companies are planning to raise their
fares starting from May 1, the vice prime minister, the minister for
territorial administration of Armenia Armen Gevorgyan said in the
parliamentary today.

This is a response to the Government’s decision to stop subsidizing
the domestic natural gas prices. Most of the public transport
vehicles in Armenia work on gas. The local transport companies say
that the present fare makes their work unprofitable. Presently,
the governmental circles are discussing this problem. This is a hard
problem, Gevorgyan said. Meanwhile, some sources say that the route
tax fare may be redoubled – from 100AMD to 200AMD.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
