Upon the completion of the 2008-2013 program on provision of apartments
to families deprived of their homes after 1988 disastrous earthquake,
4,500 families living in Gyumri shacks will still remain without
apartments.
The calculations have been made by the chairman of Shirak Centre NGO
Vahan Tumasyan, who speaking to Tert.am said they are in permanent
dispute with the Urban Development Ministry.
Tumasyan said there are two groups of homeless people in Gyumri. The
first group comprises the families registered by November 1, 2008
whose list is unchangeable and by providing apartments to 420 of them
next year the government will think that it has compensated to 3,232
families and no family has remained in the list.
"It will make 3,232 as 1,056 got apartments in 2010 and 1,756 this year
and 420 will get in 2013 but still about 1,000 families will remain
of which 400 have been rejected and the others cannot be compensated
by 2008-2013 program as they have lost not apartments but houses,"
Tumasyan said.
He said there are also 3,500 families not registered in the list
of homeless people and not considered the ones who have lost their
apartments during the earthquake which means they will not be
compensated. They are living in rented shacks and breakaway buildings.
Summing the above mentioned numbers, Tumasyan concludes that after
the implementation of the programs, next year, 25 years after the
earthquake, 4,500 homeless families will still remain in Gyumri.
