Residents of Armavir's Likashin community have reached an
"impasse." They say they can no longer live in their homes as the
building is on the verge of collapse. The balconies keep going forward,
and the residents fear the building may ruin one day.
"I am filled with horror as we use our balcony as a kitchen. Our
ten-member family usually gathers in the kitchen, and I know that
one day we shall get into trouble," said one of the inhabitants.
"I feel the second floor will fall onto the first one," said another.
Eight families live in the tumbledown building. There are two other
dilapidated buildings in the commune. They were built by Americans
in 1924 as orphanages.
People live in them with constant fear of menacing disaster. They have
applied to the municipal council and marzpetaran (local municipality)
but all in vain. They were told to "tackle the issue on their own."
Village Head Panos Khorozyan says at least 50 million drams are needed
to handle the issue. But they cannot afford the sum at present.
