THE RESIDENTS OF KOZERN DISTRICT REACHED KOCHARYAN

Social

The residents of Kozern district were gathered together opposite the residence of President Kocharyan and demanded to discuss their problem with the corresponding structures and sub-structures of the municipality. They were offended by the remarks of the Yerevan mayor Yervand Zakharyan.

The participants of the meeting met Yervand Zakharyan yesterday. The latter told them that their information about the instructions of the Prime Minister is false.

Let us remind you that last week Khachatour Vardanyan, the head of the territorial self-government administration, assured the residents that a committee has been formed which will investigate the issue of privatization of the Kozern district and give answers to their questions.

Yervand Zakharyan promised the residents of the district that he will clear up what to do within two months. “He tells us he can do whatever he wants in this city. He says he can evict us whenever he wants”, said Samvel Mkrtchyan, head of the NGO “Community and Right” who represents the interests of the residents of Kozern. Yervand Zakharyan blamed them for giving a political context to the issue, and blamed the NGO for supporting them.

As the participants of the meeting claimed, today’s act of complaint was a forced one. “We still have three days till civic disobedience. This was a necessary step so that take the opinion of the people into account. We will not take a step back,” said Samvel Mkrtchyan. Let us remind you that the residents of Kozern promised not to organize anything within ten days, and then, in case of need, they will even form new authorities and defend themselves.

At present deputy mayor of the city Kamo Areyan, four residents of the district, as well as the head of the NGO “Community and Right” are in the RA President’s residence.
