YEREVAN, MARCH 18, NOYAN TAPAN. The Armenian minister of
transport and communication does not rule out the possibility of
an increase of transport fares. At the March 18 sitting of the
National Assembly, the minister Gurgen Sargsyan said in response
to a question of member of "ARF" faction Ruzan Khachatrian that
such a necessity may arise as a result of the rise in the gas
tariff from April 1.
In the words of the minister, the transport fare is a
competitive condition, and for its change, transport companies
must submit an application to the ministry, with the
substantiation of the proposed change in the fare being
indicated in the application. An application can be granted as a
result of examination of the substantiation.
