VENDORS STAGE PROTEST OUTSIDE MAYOR’S OFFICE
03:35 PM | TODAY | SOCIAL
A group of vendors today gathered near the Yerevan Municipality
demanding the city authorities to allow them to continue trading near
Dynamo stadium in Yerevan.
The salespeople complained that they had been driven out by a group
of police officers who claimed that it was their territory and said
they were going to park their cars there. Though the vendors showed
the group the permit issued by the Mayor’s Office the police officers
insisted that they leave the area.
“I guess someone has an eye on the area and wants to get rid of us.
What can we do? How can we feed our families without work? We only
work two days a week and now they have decided to deprive us of our
daily bread,” said Samvel Simonyan, one of the protesting vendors.
The desperate vendors wanted to meet with Yerevan Mayor Taron
Margaryan, as they believe that they complaints do not reach the mayor.
