Hraparak: Opposition rallies are quite expensive

Citing its sources, Hraparak writes about a serious disagreement over the political tactics between Prosperous Armenia Party leader Gagik Tsarukyan and Armenian National Congress (ANC) leader Levon Ter-Petrosyan.

According to the newspaper, when Tsarukyan informed Ter-Petrosyan that no rallies would be held until February, the latter did not like the idea. Yet the problem is related not only to reaching an agreement with the authorities, but also to the fact that rallies are quite expensive.

“An ANC member told us that the cost of transporting a rally participant from a province to the capital city is 10,000-12,000 drams, which is an astronomical sum in case of many people,” the newspaper says.
