Protests in Yerevan against electricity price hike

Protesters in Yerevan are holding a sit-in on Baghramyan Street, demanding to cancel the decision on the electricity price hike.

The activists turned down President Serzh Sargsyan’s offer to meet with a group of five.

The Public Service Regulatory Commission last week approved a 6.93 AMD rise in electricity prices. The decision comes into force from August 1, 2015.
