The widow of famous Armenian writer Aghasi Ayvazyan has said she
might sell all her property and leave Armenia after she - together
with her late husband - were involved in a controversial estate deal.
Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, Greta Verdiyan said that in
2001 they bought a wagon house and a small land in Yerevan's Arabkir
administrative district.
Long after having completed the deal the family was informed that
the area was a state-owned property.
Verdiyan went on to say that the former owners of the property -
the Terteryan family - changed their mind and wanted to get their
property back.
The family even filed several lawsuits after the deal, claiming their
property back, but in all occasions the court rejected their lawsuits.
Seeing that they can do nothing at the legal level, Ayvazyan tells,
they started to threaten her, demanding that she leave not only the
street she lives on, but also the country.
"They even beat me for which they were held responsible, but later
released under the amnesty," said Verdiyan.
Further, she said she sent several letters to high-ranking officials,
asking to find a solution to the issue - but to no avail yet.
"All the letters addressed to the [Yerevan] Municipality go to Mayor's
advisor Hrach Muradyan, who knows all the laws and is hiding behind
them," she explained.
"Each time he learns that I am going to convene a press conference,
Hrach Muradyan prevents that, assuring me to give him time and that
he will solve the issue," said she, adding that she is considering
selling all her property and leaving Armenia.
