The minister said it would be better if public transport vehicles use diesel as a fuel, rather than gas.

“A behavior should be developed in order to be able to avoid such tragic incidents”, he said.

On July 6, at 15:15, three cars have collided in Ararat province, killing 6 and injuring 9 people. One of the cars burned out as a result of the collision.
