ARMENIAN AUTHORITIES RESTRICTING PUBLIC TRANSPORT ROUTES FROM REGIONS TO CAPITAL TODAY: HAK

The Armenian National Congress (HAK) press service is sounding the
alarm on the news that public transportation from Armenia’s marzes
(provinces) to the capital is not running properly today when HAK is
holding its second rally this year.

HAK leader Levon Ter-Petrossian’s press secretary Arman Musinyan
told Tert.am that, typical of ruling authorities, they’ve instructed
transport route owners (each public transport route in Armenia, for
example, the Etchmiadzin-Yerevan route, is owned by an individual)
not to allow their drivers to work today. Furthermore, taxi drivers
have been instructed to take no more than one passenger at a time
to Yerevan.

"A few public transport routes, which don’t stop on main roads,
haven’t been operational today. We have received such reports from
Etchmiadzin, Armavir, Artashat and Sevan," said Musinyan.

HAK is planning to hold its second rally this year at 6 pm near the
Matenadaran (the Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts). As
previously reported, this time, ironically enough, HAK will draw
attention to the ways at which the country’s ruling authorities have
attempted to hinder HAK rallies by blocking regional roads leading
to Yerevan.
