Yerevan/Mediamax/. U.S. Armenian rock musician, System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian commented on the struggle against energy price rise in Armenia.

Sharing an article about the ongoing protests in Yerevan on his Facebook page, Serj Tankian wrote:

“This article below says 3 things for me:

1) monopolistic foreign owned utility companies should be made a state asset and strictly regulated and audited by an independent panel;

2) Armenia's civic society is burgeoning;

3) previous successful campaigns at peaceful civic disobedience against unjust programs like the rate hike in public transportation have born fruit”.
