BARRICADES AT THE CENTER OF YEREVAN

Social

One of the central streets of Yerevan – the Buzand street near the Republic square, has been “decorated” with barricades since yesterday. They were built along the street at a distance of several meters from one another. It is noteworthy that the raw material for the barricades was the ruins of the houses leveled to earth “for state needs”.

“Maybe the objection of the Buzand street residents will bring the people to their senses so that they will fight for their pride and their property”, says Sedrak Baghdasaryan, resident of the Buzand street.

Besides the barricades, one can see chairs and sofas in the streets, with whole families on them. “We took them out of the houses ourselves, as we know that on Monday they will come and ruin everything”, says Sedrak Baghdasaryan.

There is another scene in Buzand 23. Near the ruins a chair is standing on which 65-year old Angela Mouradyan is sitting. She is looking steadily at the ruins. She lived in that house for 40 years.

Yesterday, when the house was being destroyed before her eyes, she tried to resist. As a result of it, she got several injuries on her hands and legs.

By the way, despite yesterday’s hard rain, the family spent the night outdoors. They also claim that the electric equipment of their house has disappeared. They do not know where they can find it.
