The government introduced before the parliament a new law draft
proposing for new territorial taxes. In accordance with it, taxes for
occupation of public areas are also to be gathered. The member of the
ARF parliamentary faction, Artsvik Minasyan voiced his concern in this
regard. According to him, such taxes may be used in case of rallies,
marches, gatherings and meetings.

"Meetings are held, usually in public places. And taxes are supposed
for this. If in Yerevan high taxes are set, it could jeopardize the
right of people to assemble leading to new conflicts", said Artsvik
Minasyan.
