Ten year-old Narek, 23 year-old Nayira and Kristineh, 24, now live
"rough" on a Yerevan street.
Their new "home" lies just outside the one room they were kicked out
of just a week ago at 3 Hrachya Nersisyan Street.
Their mom, Roza Aslanyan, is even registered at the address. The
money she earns cleaning homes here and there is just enough to put
some food on the table.
The former boarding school they used to live in was allocated to
the Yerevan #10 Vocational Institute. The court bailiffs arrived and
evicted two families that were living in the building on October 31.
A lone holdout, Hrachya Eloyan, still hasn't vacated his room on
the first floor. Mr. Eloyan taught painting at the boarding school
for 35 years. He's been given one week to find other lodging before
being thrown out.
Some of the evicted families have moved in with friends and relatives

The Ashougharibyan family say they have nowhere to go after living
in the boarding school for 18 years.
Artzroun Barseghyan, the principal of the vocational school, says the
court ordered the eviction notice and that the bailiffs had presented
three notices informing residents that they had 25 to vacate the
premises. Four of the six families living there had left by the
October 31 deadline.
Barseghyan says that the Ashougharibyans refused to have the goods
stored in the building's cellar. "What can we do, it's a court
order. If we are truly a legal nation then we must respect the laws
of the land," he says, adding that those evicted should find a place
to rent.
Barseghyan says he gave Eloyan another week to leave because he has
a property case in the courts. "He requested more time until the case
was settled. The space was given to Eloyan to store his paintings. He
abused the right, moved in, and started to live there."

Living on the street is no joke but the family has pulled together.
Nareg and his sister share the only mattress, while the other sister
sleeps on two armchairs pulled together. Their mother Roza says
she greets the sunrise sitting up and really doesn't sleep at all,
keeping an eye on her kids and the family belongings. On cold nights,
she fills bottles full of hot water to wrap in their blankets.
The family has been waiting for a government official to come by and
offer them shelter, even on a temporary basis.
They've been waiting for seven days.
