"Thieves, robbers…" These were the cries of the residents of the
North and Main Avenues, the Koghbatsi street, the Dalma gardens, as
well as the representatives of the "Justice" bloc and the Communist
party who organized a rally of complaint in the yard of the National
Assembly.

The people holding posters which said "Deputies, include the issue of
the Dalma gardens into the agenda", "The 10% you took was illegal",
"We are not selling our houses" demanded the deputies to discussed
their problems. They intended to meet the Prime Minister who was to
come to the National Assembly.

"After the decision of the Constitutional Court the evictions still
continue. If the problem is not solved, we will demand change of
authorities," said Vachagan Hakobyan, the president of the Committee
of protection of the North Avenue residents.

There were as many policemen opposite the Parliament building as
participants of the rally. Nevertheless, there were not incidents
between them. None of the Government members paid any attention to
the people.

Gegham Babayan, the secretary of the People’s Party regional
organization of Kentron community, had also come to support the
citizens. He said, "They have applied to us, and it is our duty to
help them."

By the way, the representatives of the opposition informed that
they support the people outside, and inside the Parliament Stepan
Demirchyan and the other members o the Justice faction are to raise
the issue of the evicted citizens.
