Yerevan mayor Yervand Zakaryan promised the people driven from their
homes because of construction of Northern Avenue in Armenia’s capital
to think over the problem and make compromising decisions by Monday.
Monday passed with no sign of imminent progress. On Tuesday, homeless
citizens once again gathered outside City Hall, demanding bigger
compensation. They said 50 families evicted from their homes had
signed a contract on a paltry compensation. The demonstrators say
they signed the contract under “red berets” pressure and were forced
to leave their homes.
The protesters are now waiting to be received by the municipality. No
response is got so far.
