On October 11 Vahe Grigoryan, the advocate of the four families living
in Buzand street – Safaryans, Danielyans, Grigoryans and Vahanyans
was arrested. The Residents do not know the reason, but they are
convinced that the only fault of Vahe Grigoryan was that he defended
their interests.

The case of Safaryans and Danielyans has been sent to the European
Court of Human Rights, and the case of Vahanyans is to be heard in
the Court of Appeal on October 14. “They failed to fix the day of
the trial for a month, and when he was arrested, the day was fixed”,
Zohrap Vahanyan says.

The residents are complaining, “We were deprived of our last hope. The
arrest was only a means to make us still more desperate”.

According to our information, Vahe Grigoryan is charged with extortion.
