COMMUNITY AND RIGHT: `CITY AUTHORITIES HAVE ALWAYS CHEATED’

In the course of May-October, issues related to property rights of
about 400 residents in Yerevan were solved. Until the end of the year,
another 1500 will get property certificates, `Community and Right’ NGO
Chairman Samuel Lazarian, told a news conference today. In his words,
the problems of residents living in Kozern have been
settled. Processes are under way to recover property rights of the
residents of Miasnikyan and Norq communities, he said.

`The city authorities have always cheated the residents making use of
their low legal awareness,’ Lazarian said. He highlighted that the
lack of awareness on own rights causes problems in future. In his
words, the leaders of the field ground their actions on city building
norms, however, most are not met nowadays. The lawyer was discontent
that until now these norms are not clearly defined. `Some of the
decisions of the municipality are out of the legal field, which will
cause problems in future,’ he said.
