Residents of Yerevan's Northern Avenue gathered Thursday in front
of the City Hall entrance saying they had been driven from their
apartments and demanding higher compensation for their eviction.
The people were driven from their homes because their apartments were
due to be pulled down for Northern Avenue construction.
They say the authorities don't give passports to the children reached
16 and don't register those young men returning home after completing
their compulsory national service duties in order to leave them
without due money.
All protesters say they were duped. They intend to keep struggling. In
their words, their last resort will be collective appeal to foreign
embassies for asylum.
