Market, culture or street trade? (video)
From January of this year, the municipality has taken very active steps to ban street trade in the city. Despite the municipality's decision and action, the objective of A1+ has fixed illegal street trade cases. "Most of the residents welcome this decision of the municipality. However, since democracy is not only the opinion of the majority, but also the minority, it also must be taken into consideration and analyzed, "said Hakob Karapetyan, press secretary of Yerevan municipality. "What does the minority want? The minority claims that street trade should continue because it is convenient, so the when the buyer gets off the bus, he can immidiatyly stop and buy fruits and greens and does not lose time at the store, market, and also he supports the socially vulnerable group." "But the city's appearance should be "comfortable" as well, the streets must be clean and free of food that is sold on sidewalks," said press secretary. According to the spokesman, the mayor will be determent in the issue of street trade, and our citizens dealing with trade may be confident that everyone will have equal conditions, their business will not be affected, and as a result the city will win.
