Many people were gathered in front of the government building on
government session day with different problems.

The depositors of "Armenia" Bank, which declared bankruptcy in 1994,
want their money returned. According to them, the amount doesn’t even
make up the cost of one car.

Depositor Tamara Tovmasyan says she is constantly tricked and left
without money. "I talked to head of the Central Bank Artur Javadyan
and he promised to solve the issue. But there is no change."

There used to be 300 depositors, but now there are only 40-50
depositors left. According to the participants of the action, some
had signed contracts and received half of their money.

Varduhi Poghosyan, 76, had deposited 1,346 dollars and hasn’t received
the percentages in the past 16 years.

"I can’t live like this anymore. I’m going to go out on a hunger
strike," says Varduhi Poghosyan.

With photos of their sons, the parents of soldiers who died in peaceful
conditions were standing in front of the government building along
with the residents of the sale zone.

The parents demand that the government punish the real culprits,
while the residents of the sale zone demand adequate compensation
for their homes.
