Nikol Pashinyan did not explicitly state that the “red lines” should not be crossed. Today, on December 29, during the government session, Prime Minister of Yerevan, Tigran Avinyan, highlighted the challenges of urbanization in the city. As the number of vehicles in Yerevan increases, the city faces a lack of available space for expansion and cannot relocate all the vehicles. In response, Avinyan emphasized the need for solutions to decrease the number of vehicles. One such solution includes implementing comprehensive changes in public transportation, such as expanding bus lines and restricting certain vehicles, particularly those associated with the “red lines” policy. Additionally, an increase in the annual fee for car parking in the center of Yerevan, as decided upon in the session, will be raised from 12 thousand to 160 thousand AMD.
