168 TV’s “Zara has a question” the guest of the program A member of the “Mother Armenia” faction of the Yerevan Council of Elders, a member of the pre-election list of the “Armenia” alliance It is Mesrop Manukyan.
The main theses voiced in the interview, in a nutshell:
- If Tigran Avinyan is sincere in his indignation and indignation and believes that there should be justice everywhere, then we should be the first to be indignant, spit at CP and them, the people will spit directly in their faces, because they and their “Republic” party have completely failed to manage Yerevan.
The citizen has never refused to pay, the citizen says: you do not carry out passenger transport. do you carry out cargo transportation? You promised decent transport, but instead, there are more than 100 gazelles in Yerevan, old buses donated by the Chinese government during the time of Taron Margaryan are still in operation in Yerevan, there is a shortage of around 500 vehicles in Yerevan, I am saying the minimum number, there are no more than 600 bus stops in Yerevan, there are pits and ditches in Yerevan.
In this case, the citizen asks the first question, he says: “Brother, did you remove the shadow that entered my pocket, are you able to calculate the cost of a passenger transportation or not?” There were no 2 officials in the city government and the entire CP that could say the same number of cost. everyone fell asleep, saying a price.
I am more inclined that they are being robbed than that they are not being recruited.
- First we note that we are dealing with a group of dilettantes, none of them are in place, just not in place.
If, God forbid, these things happen again, the situation in Yerevan will get worse and worse, the state of transport will be even more shameful.. In the first 2 years, no buses are planned to be bought in the medium-term expenditure plan, none, 0. That during the meetings they do something stupid, that we planned to take a bus, they lie. We have approved the budget for buying a bus, but no money has been allocated.
- The drivers themselves are treated as slaves. Now that is not enough, drivers are being pushed to fight. There is another problem here. if the driver starts to get angry… how will the poor drivers start driving the bus with that condition?
The man enters and says: there is no place to stand, neither you, nor Avinyan, nor CP. says the last words. Are they inciting the driver to become a criminal, endangering the lives of our citizens?
6 billion drams have been destroyed. there is no one responsible for this, and in a normal state they would have called and said: come and answer for this.
- 4.9 billion drams were spent on greening, creation of green zones and others. 13 million dollars. These people planted 5000 trees. I say, where is the other part of the money, he says, we planted 300,000 flowers, I say, where are the flowers, he says, winter has come, there is none, he says, I don’t know, they planted 40-50,000 bushes… let that bush grow on your head, you can’t, again, finally.
- It’s not that the sand and salt destroyed the asphalt (they can’t understand that either: I want to take a handful of sand and salt to the next meeting of the Council of Elders, fill it, see if they will disintegrate, we’ll get away) you understand… the sand and salt you pour, when the snow comes, it melts, it becomes water, it fills under the asphalt from those seams and holes, then the minus occurs, it swells, it cracks. the asphalt.
They express such stupid thoughts, they say it was the asphalt built by the previous ones, that is, the asphalt built 8 years ago lasted 8 years, 8 years… Taron Margaryan, thank your ancestors a thousand times, you made such asphalt, it lasted for 8 years։
It has already been destroyed, it is not our fault. Were you an asphalt worker, were you selling a brand of asphalt to the people?. There is no quality control.
- In general, the system created by Nikol Pashinyan is already rotten, rotten from the inside, and since their money has increased a little, there is a race to see who will have more money, who will wear better clothes, who, I don’t know, will drink better wine and similar things. A general, corrupt, patronage structure.
- The collective opposition has work to do. He has work to do, every man must do his work in his trench.
Does the opposition have the opportunity to expel them? yes, it has. Will it be possible? We have to work. If we do not work, we are all to blame.
E:I see people are disgusted by these. I see that the power is held by the Turk.
