The residents of North and Main Avenues organized a protest action
in front of the Government building with "We demand to reinstate
our violated rights", "Residents of Yeznik Koghbatsi Street demand
privatization" posters.

Today they demanded the Prime Minister to receive them after six months
of break. They demanded not only to reinstate their rights but also
to punish the violators. "We cannot live in the streets any longer,
we need shelters", they announced.

"We want to understand whether the Prime Minister, who has broad
competences, has laid the nation and does not want solve our
problems. He has not done anything during the six months. I consider
that the Prime Minister either doesn’t want to solve the problem or
he cannot do that". The Prime Minister cannot solve the problem of
20-35 citizens, then how is he going to become a president? Another
powerful person – the Yerevan Mayor ignores his orders, then maybe he
will put forward his candidature?", complained Sedrak Baghdasaryan, the
resident of Buzand Street and the Head of "Victims of State Needs" NGO.

The demonstrators were complaining of the Government.

They insured that they would appeal to all foreign ambassadors in
Armenia if the Prime Minister didn’t respond today.

"Maybe the Government wants to discredit our country, but we do not
want. We have to apply to the European Court of Human Rights. We will
do our best to change the authorities for the sake of our country",
said Sedrak Baghdasayan.
