Residents of the sale zone didn’t stay too long at Republic Square on
government session day.

They had just gathered in front of the government building when the
police informed them that Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan was holding
an outgoing session in Ararat region.

Nearly 20 residents of the sale zone stood for half an hour and
screamed "Leave, Prime Minister" from time to time and then dispersed.

Let us remind that the residents who were taken out of their homes for
state needs are demanding fair compensation.

Former resident of Amiryan Street Ida Zarafyan addressed Serzh
Sargsyan through "A1+". "My husband fought in Karabakh for his house
to be demolished and for him to be left out on the streets? We all
have to fight. As if leaving us homeless wasn’t enough, now the
inflation. How are we supposed to live?"

Another resident of the Main Avenue Mariam said: "We don’t want a
government, we want the price for what was taken from us."

Former resident of Teryan Street Zhenya Poghosyan complained that she
and the other residents have been participating in the protests held
at the government building for many years, but no government official
has met with. "The Prime Minister has not approached us to ask what
the problem concerning the residents of Northern and Main Avenues is
and whether the government will solve it or not."

The parents of soldiers who were killed in different military units in
peaceful conditions were also near the government building and were
demanding punishment of the real culprits.
