Precautionary march in the Republic Square
At this moment small and medium-size businesses are holding a precautionary march in the Republic Square. They demand to suspend “Turnover tax” law, which requires that businesses track an inventory for each product. The new law comes into effect starting February 1. Alexander Ghazaryan, head of the government department that deals with the acceptance and discussion of citizen requests, has approached the protesters trying to calm them down by saying that Prime Minister is busy and isn’t able to approach them. Protesters are demanding a meeting with Prime Minister. If after the precautionary march they don’t receive a response, they will march to the Presidential residence.
