Today, the current mayor of Yerevan, Tigran Avinyan, during a debate with the former mayor of Yerevan, Hayk Marutyan, quoted the former mayor Hayk Marutyan's words.
"It is very funny that in fact, in the course of 5 years from 2013, the price of everything has increased, except for transport, everything, matches, butter, etc. This is also somewhat surprising. At that time, it was objective that we said do not increase the price. This time, in my opinion, the price is not increasing, it is not objective. It seems to me that the previous authorities were afraid to raise the price so that a new wave would not rise..." Avinyan quoted Marutyun's previous words.
Avinyan mentioned that the reason for inciting this debit was that the citizens approached him and said why the price of transport is increasing.
Hayk Marutyan responded by turning on a recording that he said on that day that transportation should be subsidized, and price increases can only be through a referendum.
"I said that the price will increase, naturally, because the transport will improve. But we have to ask the people whether it should increase or not. Then, as the mayor, I realized that there is no need for a referendum not to make transport more expensive," he said.
Avinya responded. "So you understood that with a budget of 24 billion you will be able to subsidize transport so much that the price does not change?"
"Mr. Marutyan lied to people, saying that the transport costs 300 drams. This is what you told people," he said.
Marutyan turned on a recording that he also said that the monthly ticket is 9 thousand drams.
"In other words, just the lie was caught, Tigran Avinyan told a series of lies in line with the CP, they are the kings of the montage," he said.
