The traffic police of Armenia toughen the rules for pedestrians. From
October 1st pedestrians will be fined for violating the traffic rules.

"Both drivers and pedestrians will be fined for violation of traffic
rules," Chief of the Traffic Police, Police Colonel Margar Ohanyan
told a press conference today.

Does the city of Yerevan possess all necessary conditions to implement
this?

Do the traffic lights function normally? Are there enough pedestrian
crossings? At last, are there professional inspectors at the Police?

Not denying that there is a real chaos in the streets of Yerevan,
Margar Ohanyan considers that this is a result of the unwillingness
of the drivers and pedestrians to make way for each other.

According to him the main reason of the chaos is that there are too
many cars and pedestrians in the streets of Yerevan.

“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
