The "Republic" faction of the Yerevan Council of Elders has issued a statement that says:
"Dear citizens of Yerevan, dear colleagues, we inform you that the "Republic" faction will not participate in the extraordinary session of the Yerevan Council of Elders to be convened on January 21.
We do not discuss false agendas that polarize the society and hinder the development of Yerevan. We understand that we all face different problems every day in mastering a unified transportation system.
Thank you for the issues you raised, which the city government is discussing and finding solutions for.
We must have a transport system suitable for the developed capital of the 21st century. Our goal is to create a system with a clear schedule, equipped stops, and favorable working conditions for drivers.
Yes, in the beginning there will be complications and temporary difficulties.
A new system is being introduced, which must be mastered and used to.
We thank the people of Yerevan for their understanding and willingness."
The extraordinary session will be held if a quorum is ensured, that is, at least 33 members of the 65-member council of elders are present at the session.
