YEREVAN, March 27. /ARKA/. About 15-20,000 residents of Yerevan
will get the right to legalize their housing, the Chairman of
Armenia’s State Committee for Real Estate Cadastre Manuk Vardanian
told journalists.

According to him, the opportunity will be provided under the draft
law about the status of private houses in Yerevan without property
documents. The draft law was approved by the government today.

Under the draft law, private houses and auxiliary areas that were
built before May 15 2001 with no proper documentation preserved are
to be legalized, if the area of the land or building is not more than
300 square meters, Vardanian said adding that this concerns only the
completed construction.

The remaining territory of illegal construction, i.e. incomplete
buildings, as well as garages, shops and public facilities will be
considered illegal and subject to legalization, he added.

According to Yerevan Municipality, the number of illegal construction
in Yerevan exceeds 100,000, including 40,000 garages, Vardanian
said.

“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
