Laws are not violated by ordinary citizens, they are violated by the
state, says Sedrak Baghdasaryan, Chairman of the Victims of State Needs
NGO, who was deprived of his property in Yerevan about ten years ago.
Mr Baghdasaryan has been seeking justice ever since. Speaking at the
discussion on "Violations Regarding Eminent Domain" held at the Media
Centre NGO, he said courts have not yet explained to him the meaning
of the phrase 'eminent domain.'
"They had better say they are alienating our homes for Robert
Kkocharyan ," Mr Baghdasaryan said.
In 2007, residents of buildings at 23, 25 Teryan Str. and 37 Lalayants
Str. were evicted from their homes after the government declared
their property 'eminent domain for public needs.'
Vardan Geravetyan, a member of the Our City Initiative, says the areas
were given to Local Development Company headed by Samvel Mayrapetyan.
The latter is known to have close ties with former president Robert
Kocahryan. It is still unknown what the company plans to build in
the area.
Speaking at the discussion, Sedrak Baghdasaryan said the residents
of the alienated buildings are not going to leave their homes.
"Every day, we receive letters from the Judicial Acts Compulsory
Enforcement Service, saying that we are to vacate the flats. The
compensation offered by the company is ridiculous, even offensive.
They are driving you out of your home in your country," said resident
Flora Udumyan.
