Vanadzor residents protest against gas price hike
Some 60 residents of Vanadzor, a major city in the county's northern Lori province, took to the street on Wednesday to protest against the announced rise in the natural gas prices. The angered citizens marched to the Governor's Office of Lori demanding a meeting with the governor. However, they were met by the deputy governor.
Lori Governor Arthur Nalbandyan showed up eventually to talk to the protesting residents.
Participating in the protest was also Garnik Sahakyan, head of the Vanadzor Office of the opposition Heritage party and party members.
Arthur Nalbandyan said he was equally concerned about the hike in gas prices. He also said that the new tariffs have not been fixed yet.
