Gagik Tsarukyan was busy
Some 50 individual taxi drivers today gathered near the mansion of Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) Leader Gagik Tsarukyan in search of a solution to their concern.
"We hope Tsarukyan will help us solve the problem and the government decision will be frozen for the time being," cab driver Armen Sahakyan said to A1+.
Half an hour later Tsarukyan's security men turned up and asked the crowd to disperse.
"Gagik Tsarukyan is presently busy in the National Assembly. You can leave your telephone numbers. He will contact you when he finds time," said a security guard.
Before turning to the BHK Leader, the drivers planed to stage a protest action at Republic Square but the action was banned by policemen. One of the protesters was taken to the police station.
Next time, taxi drivers are likely to gather in front of Levon Ter-Petrosyan's house.
"We shall either go to the Human Rights Defender Armen Harutyunyan or to the Opposition Leader Levon Ter-Petrosyan. We have no other alternative," they said.
The traffic police today raided through the capital streets and fined all cabs having no yellow number plates and manufactured more than ten years ago in the amount of 20 000 drams.
A taxi service expressed complaint over yellow number plates stating they have already sent application but haven't received licence plates as relevant bodies say they don't have any available at the moment.
The Press service of the Armenian police refuted the information.
