Two of dwellers of Buzand 15 will celebrate the Women’s Day in a
hunger strike.

Since 9 o’clock in the morning 3 of about 10 members of 6 families
living in Buzand 15 Street has gone on a hunger strike in front of
the office of Human Rights Defender. They demand “Just compensation”:
this signboard has been stuck on the wall of HRD office and the
strikers are waiting for their further fate.

This time the dwellers decided to legalize the hunger strike, and
selected the pavement opposite the HRD office as a legal place. In
the morning the second Human rights’ Defender accepted the strikers
and promised to help them. The protestants cherished hopes with this
as well as the other defenders but “as you saw they didn’t let Larisa
Alaverdyan do anything,” they said.

As the dwellers predict, a new wave of protest is expected at the
end of the year. This time the strikers will be those who signed
agreement about the purchase of the apartment. As they say the time
of realization of the agreement is going to expire soon, yet the
dwellers haven’t been given places to live in.
