Beglaryan escorted by police officers
The RA Ministry of Transport and Communication is studying the issue relating to the bus drivers that declared a workers' strike in Abovyan and Charentsavan cities yesterday.
"The ministry is conducting concrete studies to find out the illegitimacy and will present the details to you later," said Minister of Transport and Communication Gagik Beglaryan.
The bus drivers complain that free buses ride on the same route and don't let them gain profits.
According to the owners of the five buses belonging to King Deluxe Company, the law "On Benevolence" has been breached and those free buses are illegal.
The drivers were supposed to hold a protest in front of the government building today, but they didn't come to Yerevan since Gagik Beglaryan had managed to talk to them. "The most important thing for me is that they are working and that all the buses are en route."
Beglaryan persistently tried to avoid answering questions today, but he agreed to speak after coming out of the government building and was escorted to the ministry building by police officers.
