YEREVAN, MAY 13, NOYAN TAPAN. The ownership right of residents evicted
from realization zones houses will be restored if the Armenian
National Congress (ANC) wins Yerevan Council of Elders elections
of May 31. ANC representative, Chairwoman of the Social-Democrat
Hnchakian Party Lyudmila Sargsian said at the May 13 dispute. She
said that radical opposition’s preelection program consists of two
parts, political and dedicated to Yerevan’s problems. Reforms aimed
at protection of Yerevan residents’ rights, collapse of the "robber
corruption pyramid," restoration of the constitutional order in the
country are proposed in the political part.
According to L. Sargsian, Yerevan Tamanian center has been distorted
today, even buildings’ roofs have been developed and turned into
profitable entities, parks and green zones have been destroyed.
The other dispute participant, NA ARFD faction member Alvard
Petrosian opposed to L. Sargsian saying that her generation did not
admire Tamanian Yerevan at all. "When I looked at Yerevan roofs from
Monument hill I felt sick. The center was filled with scorpions, it
was very difficult to live," the deputy said. Meanwhile A. Petrosian
said that people loved even such Yerevan, as there was a spirit
there. A. Petrosian also advised her opponent not to name "robber
chiefs" the authorities, as it is not a right opposition position.
