Today the surrounding of the Government building was overcrowded
again. The inhabitants of Saralange Str. aroused a revolt.
The dwellers of Saralange have always been in constant fear as they
heard that their dwelling places are a "zone of realization" for the
"needs of the Government." Whereas they found out that in 2004 the
Youth Palace was sold by auction and their territory was privatized
by the Director of "Avangard Motors" Edik Avetisyan.
Edik Avetisyan offered the people present in the revolt to pay one
million ARD per a person on condition to release the premises within
5 days in order to pull it down. "We are not confident that the money
will be given," complains the inhabitant Zabela Sargsyan living on
147 Saralange and adds, "We demand a compensation corresponding to
the market prices. We can't even buy a one-room flat with the money
offered." The inhabitant of 155 apartment Hasmik Sargsyan said,
"We protect our rights. They combat poverty; do they want to make us
poor. Let them provide us with flats, I don't need their money."
It wasn't the first revolt of the Saralange dwellers; they twice
turned to the RA Government but they were sent to the City Hall and
the latter sent them to the Program Implementation Office. "We were
told in the PIO to come in a week's time. A week later they said it
is beyond their responsibilities," say the Saralange inhabitants.
They assure that they will go on their protests by the time they
achieve results.
