The residents of a multi-apartment block in capital Yerevan had
to spend the night in the street after weakened side wall stones
collapsing occasionally aroused a big panic, reports the Ministry of
Emergency Situations.
The district emergency department and other district authorities,
as well as the Yerevan City Hall's relevant subdivisions have been
reported on the situation.
The rescue teams, which visited the scene after receiving an emergency
call, found out that the five-storey building, situated in Sisakyan
street (Ajapnyak administrative district) is facing a fourth-degree
emergency threat.
Cracks were observed on the walls and inside the apartments. The
worn-out sewage pipes are said to be leaking water, causing insanitary
conditions. Rainwater dripping from the damaged roof undermines the
building's foundations. Firefighters have isolated the dangerous zones.
The residents were offered to spend the night outside for security
considerations.
Their only request now is to be provided with new apartments.
