"In 2024, the actual revenues of the Yerevan budget amounted to 116 billion 715 million drams or 103.1%, actual performance on budget planning.
The Yerevan City Hall has recruited its own income by 113.1%, which has been announced by 71 billion 199 million drams. "
However, among so many billions, Yerevan Mayor Tigran Avinyan promised to do what to say, he will just deceive the citizens.
Zhoghovurd daily, studying Tigran Avinyan's actual promises, noted that in early 2025, the city authorities promised to buy 45 trolleybus capital.
However, months after the announcement, they said that the whole amount of trolleybuses would not be possible. Why, because as a result of a boycott of transport prices, there have been shortcomings.
Even the law changed to fines boycotting citizens ... In short, there is no money in the city's budget.
This means that more than 1 billion months have been collected from citizens, 150,000 drams. According to various estimates, 95-96 million drams. In other words, Tigran Avinyan can buy trolleybuses promised for Yerevan with money collected and something more. You can buy 65 trolleybus in 6.28 billion drams, instead of 45.
However, it is not done. Instead, extravagant expenses are made to meet the ambitions of Tigran Avinyan. When he took the mayor in October 2023, the people of Yerevan paid 87 million drams or about 220 thousand dollars to swore as mayor.
Zhoghovurd daily inquired from Yerevan Mayor's press secretary why Tigran Avinyan did not fulfill his promise and the promised 45 trolleybuses were not bought for Yerevan. They responded from the municipality. "The 45 competition has taken place, there is a winning organization, it remains to solve the financial problems so that we can have 45 more this year."
