YEREVAN, MAY 16, NOYAN TAPAN. Residents of 28 districts of Yerevan, in
particular, Armenakian St, 23 Koryun St, Antarayin and Verin Antarayin
Streets, and 3 districts of Shangavit community staged a protest
outside the residence of the Armenian president on May 15. They
demanded that they should meet with the president Serge Sargsian
to tell him about the faults during the process of recognizing the
citizens' property rights of real estate.
The chairman of Community and Law NGO Samvel Mkrtchian said that the
residents of the indicated districts demand that the Armenian president
change the members of the commission dealing with these areas' issues.
Besides, they demand revising the government decision on recognition
of citizens' property rights of real estate. According to the NGO
chairman, although this decision took effect, its implementation in
more than 30 districts has not been regulated.
The residents of the indicated districts have appiled to the
appropriate bodies for several years, asking them to restore the
property right of their land plots and apartments. A commission was
set up, but, in the words of S. Mkrtchian, it only makes arbitrary
decisions. "For example, if a citizen owns a 800 sq.m. land plot,
an unfounded decision may be taken to privatize only 120 sq.m.. It
is unfair because people have lived in these areas for 50-60 years
and in fact, it is their property," S. Mkrtchian said.
The protesters were received by the RA presidential staff's
correspondence unit Aida Asatrian. An agreement was reached with her
to organize a joint meeting of the commission on problems of residents
of the indicated areas and the RA presidential staff's supervision
department on the same day.
