"About 40 residents of Byuzand Street and Northern Avenue, who have
not signed a compensation contract with the state, have appeared
in the status of a "rogue." They are taken out of registration and
stripped of the Republic of Armenia citizenship," Sedrak Baghdasaryan,
chairman of "Victims of Public Needs" NGO, told a news conference
today. In his words, Human Rights Ombudsman Armen Harutunyan has
applied to the Constitutional Court (CC) concerning the problem. In
the words of the NGO chairman, according to CC ruling "the legal acts
on compulsory alienation of property for public needs do not comply
with the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia."
Baghdasaryan said "the government has been raiding ownership from
dozens of citizens and throwing them out to street violating their
human rights." Victims of Public Needs and several victimized citizens
demand from the government "to recover their violated rights."
