Two participants in the sit-in strike near Yerevan mayor’s office,
Suren Sahakyan and Vahagn Minasyan, have been detained.

The reason of their detaining was a statement to remove “criminal
elements” from the Mayor’s Office, in particular, to dismiss the head
of the transport department of the Mayor’s Office, Henrikh Navasardyan,
and director of CJSC “YerevanTrans”, Misak Hambartsumyan.

To recall, activists of the “We pay 100 drams” movement have been
holding a picket in front of the Mayor’s Office with a demand to
cancel the decision on hiking transport fare.
