Today residents of North and Main avenues, Dalma gardens and Byuzand
Street handed an open letter to RA President Robert Kocharian and
British Embassy.

They wonder why the president should support Prime Minister Serge
Sargsyan at the upcoming elections if the latter doesn’t keep his
promises.

To remind, Serge Sargsyan had promised to host the residents after
the parliamentary elections to find a solution to their matter. Five
months have passed since then but nothing has changed.

"Obviously, the prime minister is a liar. He is either incapable of
keeping his promises or the Municipality doesn’t carry out the prime
minister’s instructions," said Sedrak Baghdasaryan, the Chairman of
the "Victims of State Needs" NGO.

The presentees are unable to privatize their homes though they have
lived there for ages.

"We have already tasted the fruits of life. We are concerned over
our children’s future. Why should they be thrown outdoors?" said
Svetlana Charikyan.

The demonstrators were received by the representatives of the
Municipality at the president’s residence.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
