Ex-residents of North Avenue launch "heated war"
The ex-residents of North Avenue who did not get appropriate
compensation for their expropriated apartments are going to write
an open letter to the RA president, National Assembly and other
competent bodies to protect their rights, Vachagan Hakobyan, one of
the ex-residents of North Avenue, the chairman of the NGO protecting
the right to property, told Lragir.am.
The Armenian courts reject the applications of the ex-residents,
referring to the statute of limitation. This has sent the persons
deprived of their property into fury.
"Our lawyers are currently drafting the letter to justify legally
that we have the right to go to court. We know that they get top down
orders to reject the applications," Vachagan Hakobyan says.
According to him, after the publication of the open letter they will
launch a new stage of struggle, "entering into a heated war with the
government". The ex-residents of North Avenue were indignant that
every Thursday they hold a picket in front of the house of government
and Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan would not meet with them.
"The prime minister will not meet us, they dismissed these cases a
long time ago," he said.
According to Vachagan Hakobyan, 38 families of the former residents of
North Avenue have left Armenia forever. "Another family left Armenia
2 days ago," he said. He reminded that they were forced out of their
apartments, making them sign the necessary documents.
The ex-residents of North Avenue are going to sue the State Committee
of the Immovable Property Cadastre. Vachagan Hakobyan informed that
they have a list which makes it clear that people who do not live
in this area were made the owners and misappropriated huge sums on
their behalf.
As to the quality of construction on North Avenue, Vachagan
Hovhannisyan who is an architect says the buildings are subsiding,
already cracks have appeared on the walls.
"The government wants to cover it up. It is clear that it was a
business plan, no high-rise buildings can be built at the center of
Yerevan underneath which an underground river flows. They ignored the
architect Tamanyan's project. Now people are afraid of buying houses
there. These buildings will be razed to the ground by a magnitude
five earthquake, forming a cemetery. I am saying this as an ex-senior
expert of the Institute of Seismology," he noted.
