Today at 08:00 a.m. 5 families were to be evicted from the Buzand
street. The eviction is supposed to be repeated daily till there
are no old dwellers in the street.
Today residents of the North and Main Avenues, other citizens,
students, representatives of non-governmental organizations were
gathered in the street in order not to allow the eviction to be carried
out. At about 10:30 – 11:00 a.m. several policemen visited the street,
but seeing the crowd, left immediately.
Let us remind you that on September 1 the house of the Mouradyans has
been leveled to earth. The family has lived in the street ever since,
as no money has been allotted to them to buy a new house.
By the way, the crowd was determined not to allow any eviction
today. Head of the North Avenue Residents Committee Vachagan Hakobyan
announced, “If they come, we will never give up and let them destroy
another house”.
The residents were even “prepared” to meet the police. Resident of the
Buzand street Susanna Pogosyan confessed that has 3 large canisters
of petrol at home. “I’d better die. Otherwise, where shall I go? Come
into my house and see how many children I have. My family consists
of 12 persons. I cannot hire an apartment”.
