Why is everyone suddenly listening to this taxi driver?

BBC Trending

Hundreds of thousands have watched YouTube videos of Armenian taxi driver Arman Galstyan

A taxi driver is being hailed as a hero online after his televised rant struck a chord with people across Armenia.

In many places around the world, taxi drivers are seen as founts of common sense - as grafting small businessmen who meet folks from all walks of life and are somehow uniquely qualified to pontificate on the issues of the day. In fact, it's such a common trope that quoting a taxi driver to gauge the mood of the public has become a certified journalistic cliché.

Well, an extreme version of that view has catapulted a previously anonymous Armenian taxi driver into fame and considerable influence. Arman Galstyan was attending a protest earlier this month in the Armenian capital of Yerevan against new taxi licensing rules which, the cabbies thought, included unfair fees. Television channels at the scene interviewed Galstyan who gave an impassioned monologue about the problems he and his colleagues faced and suggested practical solutions - proposing lower taxes and standard rules for all taxi drivers.

Transport regulation is not a subject that would seem to have wide appeal. But when the videos were posted on YouTube they were viewed more than 300,000 times - a huge hit in a country with a population of about 3m. Galstyan became an online sensation and when he appeared on a popular talk show that interview also became a viral phenomenon. In the interview, Galstyan urged the officials to take off their suits and come on a drive with him to see the reality of the taxi business in Yerevan. "Let's shift from virtual to real life and speak the people's language," he said.

So why has this bearded young man with sharp opinions and a pair of tinted glasses captured the Armenian imagination? The public empathise with Galstyan about the difficulty of dealing with city authorities and many feel that laws are selectively implemented, says BBC Monitoring's Tigran Zakaryan. "His language was colloquial but his tone conveyed a very clear message. People in Armenia look at him as a bold guy who stays positive."

Aram Shahinyan, an art director in Yerevan, tweeted that Galstyan was a "local hero." And thousands have joined fan pages set up for Galstyan on Facebook.

"There is an old joke: it is such a pity that people who clearly know how to develop the country are all working as taxi drivers. Petros Ghazaryan's interview yesterday showed it was not merely a joke," commented blogger Samvel Martirosyan. Another commented: "You are 100,000 times more intelligent and bright than [President Serzh Sargsyan] or any minister in the government."

Fan pages have been set up for Galstyan

While Galstyan has repeatedly said he does not want the issues to be clouded by politics, his popularity has led to a meeting with the transport minister. Not everyone thinks the attention is deserved though.

"Ok, he speaks impressively, but I want to understand what is his point? What do they want to change in the law?" asked the leader of an NGO. Television presenter Petros Ghazaryan commented: "I have interviewed many people who were victims of greater injustice than this taxi driver and his colleagues. But this time the public reaction is unprecedented. I can assume most people are more interested in scandals and sensations, rather than justice."

"The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stategems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus."

--Lorenzo from "The Merchant of Venice" (V.i.82–86)

When You See What These Kids Said, You'll Want To Run.

POSTED 2 WKS 18 COMMENTS

1. When she was about 3 we had a cat that had still born kittens. She asked if we could make crosses for them, which I did. As I was making them she asked:

"Aren’t those too small?"

Me: "What do you mean?"

Her: "aren't we going to nail them to them?"

Me: (after several moments silence) "we're not going to do that"

Her: "oh"

2. I was tucking in my two year old. He said "Good bye dad." I said, "No, we say good night." He said "I know. But this time it’s good bye."

3. "Go back to sleep, there isn't anything under your bed".

"He’s behind you now."

4. My 3 year old daughter stood next to her new born brother and looked at him for a while then turned and looked at me and said, "Daddy it’s a monster...we should bury it."

5. I was sound asleep, and at around 6am I was woken up by my 4 year old daughters face inches from mine. She looked right into my eyes and whispered, "I want to peel all your skin off".

6. My toddler went through a phase where she would just constantly say 'hi' to things. "Hi hi hi hi hi hi"

One day, it came out sounding more like "Die die die die die"

So I say to her "What's that you're saying?"

And she turns to face me and just whispers

"Diiiieeeeeee………"

7. My kid's catholic school is over 100 years old. There is a basement under the gym that's used for storage. I was subbing once and during recess one of the kick balls goes down the stairs. A little girl was standing at the top of the stairs yelling "just throw it up to me". I went over and asked who she was talking to and she replied "that big man down the stairs" I went down and there was nobody down there and it was the only way in.

I asked some of the other kids if they have seen the man before and they said "yes, but sister told us not to talk to him". I asked them to describe "sister" and they described a nun and there haven't been nuns at the school in 40 years.

8. "Mommy look what I learned!"

inserts tongue into mom’s mouth during good night kiss

"I learned it from a movie! It means you love someone!"

Mom calmly gets up without saying a word and walks to her room

9. I was on a bus recently and we were stopped outside a walk-in clinic. A little girl in the seat in front of me turned to her dad and said, "Death is the poor man's doctor." And that was that.

10. Why are you crying?

"Bad man."

What bad man?

"There." Points behind me at a dark corner of the room

Lamp on bookshelf next to said darkened corner falls off as soon as I turn to look.

She slept in our bed that night.

11. "So I shouldn't throw him in the fire?"

3 year old daughter holding her baby brother for the first time.

12. Yesterday my 3 year old son told me "today's [sister's] birthday!"

I went into labor last night.

13. My niece was sitting on the couch with a weird look on her face. Her mom asked her what she was thinking about, and she said, "I'm imagining the waves of blood rushing over me."

Turned out they had been at a local science museum with an exhibit on the circulatory system. One of the features was a walk among some giant fake blood vessels, and she was remembering that.

14. Not to me, but to his grandmother.

He was cuddling with her and being very sweet (he was about 3 at the time). He takes her face in his hands, and brings his face close to hers, then tells her that she's very old, and will die soon.

Then he makes a point of looking at the clock.

15. My youngest (around 5 at the time) once drew a picture of a black monster, looked up at me, and said "He told me to draw this. He's coming for you. You better hide."
