YEREVAN, JANUARY 20, NOYAN TAPAN. Inhabitants of the Busand
street appeared in the building zone of the Kentron community of
Yerevan as well as leaseholders of the Dalma gardens near the
Yerevan Lake (Yerevanian Litch) organized a regular
demonstration at the RA Government's building on January 19. The
Buzand street is at present completely free of inhabitation who
refused to leave their houses up to that moment. According to
them, the monetary compensation proposed by the Yerevan Mayor's
Office isn't enough to buy a new flat. Inhabitants consider the
Government's decision on selling the territory for building as
anti-constitutional one as in the given case, no building is
implemented "for state needs."
Leaseholders of the Dalma gardens also consider illegal the
Government's decisions to take back from them the
above-mentioned territories of 256 hectares. The leaseholders
demand to refresh their lease contracts.
