FLEA MARKET PRIVATIZED

Social

Today, the flea market employees held a protest action in front of the RoA Government. On May 29 over 200 merchants were exiled from the market adjacent to “Republic” sports field. А bulldozer leveled their goods to the ground and they were unable to take any measures. The traders were told that the area had been sold and they should vacate the territory as quickly as possible.

“We could hardly survive with the money got from the goods. And now we are deprived of any chance to earn our living. Should we become vagabonds?” says Lena Sahakyan.

“We sleep in the open air in the graveyards. We are half alive and half buried. We want neither money nor work. We simply want an area to sell our worn-out clothes Our rights are violated,” Levon Khachatryan said.

They feel foreigners in their homeland-Armenia. They intend to continue their protest action in case their demands are not satisfied.
