SELF-IMMOLATION PLANNED
`My son went to war and never came back. Now it is time to reap the harvest
but we are not allowed to do that’, a woman, resident of Kurghinyan street
in the Sebastia community of Yerevan said with tears in her eyes.
To remind, community head Vahan Zatikyan marked out a territory for 27
families of the killed soldiers, invalids and forced emigrants. However
recently these lands have been sold at an auction and those, who bought them
brought a suit against the real owners. Last time the court sitting was
postponed till May 10, this time is was put off to May 23.
The family of the soldier appealed to the Mayor and the President, but in
vain. Today they tried to burn themselves on these lands. The present land
owner told he will cede this territory if he is offered another one.
Presently it is hard to say how the problem will be solved.
