The ex residents of the realization zones of the capital were gathered
today opposite the Yerevan municipality building and demanded
the resignation of the Yerevan mayor Yervand Zakharyan. "He is a
criminal and must be charged: we have proof for this," says Sedrak
Baghdasaryan, one of the participants of the meeting opposite the
municipality building.
According to Baghdasaryan and Vachagan Hakobyan, another participant
of the meeting, Mr. Zakharyan "squeezes money out of every square
meter of the North Avenue". The above mentioned citizens claim that
those who construct buildings in the North Avenue "pay the mayor 20
USD for every square meter." According to them, this is the reason
why skyscrapers are built.
The participants of the meeting quoted several state and Governmental
decisions and the projects by Tamanyan according to which the height
of the buildings around the Opera House must not exceed 20-25 meters.
The ex-dwellers of the realization zone have been struggling for their
rights for the last two years turning to different state structures
and choosing different ways of complaint. Their case is even being
heard in the Constitutional court. They have been waiting for an answer
for the last three weeks, but still in vain. This fact puzzles them.
They comment on the fact quoting the Law, "If they accepted the case,
they must make a decision within ten days. So what's the matter?" The
only answer they managed to get from the Constitutional Court is that
they must have the opinion of specialists and experts.
The participants of the meeting still pin their hopes on the Court
although they do not exclude the possibility that under the present
authorities even "the fairest court" cannot stand the test.
