The residents of Northern Alley and other areas seem to be no less
persistent than the government officials. The residents of those
areas are dislocated because the land is sold to other owners. They
continuously rebel however their applications remain without solution
at the government tables.

Today the residents organized a demonstration right on the day of
government session near the government building. Vachagan Hakobyan,
the chairman of Northern Alley protection committee said that
they are only protecting their rights and are persistent in their
demands. According to him, their case was one of the reasons why
Armenia was not included in UN Human Rights Council. They have met
UN representative and told him everything about the case. However,
UN said that they are not entitled to do anything.

The residents claim they they have suffered both material and
psychological damage. 8th person among the residents is suffering from
some kind of illness because of the psychological attack.
