FORMER OWNERS OF DALMA ORCHARDS APPLY TO YEREVAN MAYOR FOR SANCTIONED RALLY
AZG Armenian Daily #081, 05/05/2005
Concern
Larisa Alaverdian, RA ombudswoman, called to publish the name of Edik
Simonian, illegal owner of Dalma Orchards, in her annual report. They
purchased the land in an illegal auction without informing the former
owners. Thus, 27 families of freedom fighters and disabled in Karabakh
war are deprived of the only source for earning their living. Even
the fact that they applied to RA ombudswoman doesn't help to restore
their violated rights. PM Andranik Margarian also strictly criticized
the fact and promised the former owners to settle the issue. But still
these poor families are being threatened by the representatives of Edik
Simonian. Moreover, Simonian instituted a suit against disabled Samvel
Markosian and next Friday the case will be investigated at the court.
The people losing any hope protest either in front of the Yerevan
Municipality or in front to the government building and the
Presidential Residence.
The former owners applied to the Yerevan Municipality for a sanctioned
procession.
It's worth mentioning that Dalma Orchards is a unique territory
where rare sorts of wine and other trees grow. Many animals included
in the Red Book live in this territory.
Here, the Dalma and Etchmiadzin water supply systems that have
preserved since the times of Urartu and are 3000 years old are
in this territory. Dalma Orchards, rich in ecological and ethnic
valuable samples can be turned into an open-air museum, instead of
making that an area for unauthorized construction.
