New people are added to the group of those shelterless who have been
ousted of their houses. Together with the residents of the North
Avenue, Buzand and Yeznik Koghbaci streets the residents of Kanaker
and Malatia-Sebastia are already participating in marches.

In the Malatia-Sebastia community there are good pieces of land too. In
particular, the lands of the ex collective economy N22, which were
allotted to the workers of the economy, families of dead soldiers
and socially insecure families. These lands are being sold too.

The above mentioned lands form about 50 hectares. 30 of them have been
allotted to the Defense Ministry, which it its turn has resold them,
but the new owner of the lands is unknown.

Although there are families who have rent contracts of the lands,
the contracts are found invalid. As for the compensation for the
lands, it is miserable. 1 square meter usually costs 40 cents, and
the families of the dead soldiers are paid 2 dollars.

It is noteworthy that 20 hectares of the whole territory is not
considered a green zone, therefore no necessary compensation is
given. As for the Yerevan municipality, it has started to sell the
territory in an auction.
