The former residents of Kond quarter of Yerevan have gathered in
front of the Government building demanding the executive power to
settle their housing problems. They carry banners "Lost residents of
secure Armenia."
The houses of some 200 families in the above quarter were destroyed as
the area was recognized a public zone. Down Town Company that pledged
to settle them in the building that is currently being built in the
given area has not yet completed the construction. Last year the city
authorities assured the former residents of Kond that the company,
the legal successor of Down Town , will complete the construction,
but no progress has been observed since then. Now, the evicted citizens
demand the government to settle their housing problems and recompense
their expenses on rent of apartments.
Aleksander Ghazaryan, representative of the Government, met with
the picketers and assured them that their application submitted a
week ago will be studied within 15 working days and they will be
replied officially. However, the pickers were not satisfied with the
promise and slammed the government for 'feeding' them with promises
for already 4 years.
