RESISTANCE CONTINUES

The Buzand street is still under control both by the residents and by those
responsible for the `reconstruction’. The menace of destroying the houses
still looms on the horizon.

Several days ago the officials responsible for the reconstruction of the
city said that they must negotiate with the residents of the street to come
to an agreement. But yesterday at about 03:00 – 04:00 p.m. the workers tried
to destroy the 3-storeyed house next to the house of the Mouradyans. As a
result of the resistance of the dwellers, the house was preserved.

It is noteworthy that the workers have put a fence round that area from the
street side, and the destruction can start every minute. `We will preserve
our houses at any cost, we will even become a living wall in order not to
allow it’, the dwellers of the street announce.

By the way, yesterday till midnight the residents of the street celebrated
the 1600th anniversary of historiograph Pavstos Buzand. The residents of the
North and the Main Avenues also joined them. Tonight there will be another
open-air film-watching in the Buzand street.
