Today the residents of North and Main Avenues, Firdus and Kozern
districts and the gardeners of Dalma and Nor Norq, organised a rally
of complaint opposite the National Assembly.

They called on the NA deputies to discuss their version and proposals
of the draft bill on "Alienation of Property for Public and State
Needs." But their attempts were a failure as the NA passed the old
version with 61 votes for. "We approve of the law but not in its
current form," complained the residents.

"They were elected due to the residents’ votes. Let them not forget it
and not become the stooges of the government. The government has once
more revealed its "real face." We see the interests of the government
quite well," said Sedrak Baghdasayan, one of the rally participants.

By the way, the strikers urged the authorities, "We did everything
within the framework of the law, whereas our-high rank officials
breeched it. They will soon start election campaigns. And the acting
authorities will be treated just the way they treat people. They stir
us to be disobedience… "
