No reception
Gohar Torosyan, 89, says that she has been living out on the streets for two years now. After the earthquake in Spitak, Torosyan lived in the "Erebuni" hotel, but two years ago she was forced to leave her home because it had been privatized. Today Gohar Torosyan was crying in despair in front of the government building and screaming that she didn't know what to do on the streets.
"I live on the streets. I used to live in the "Erebuni" hotel 21 years ago and then somebody from Yeghegnadzor came and said that he had bought the place. We got into a debate and went to court, but that didn't help. I don't know what to do, who to ask? I have to appeal to the Euroepan Union."
Gohar Torosyan was not the only protester standing in front of the government building.
Nearly 30 residents of the Northern and Main Avenues were holding another protest here as well with the demand to receive fair compensation for alienation. Once again, the police did not let them stand in front of the government building and the protesters held their protest on the street facing the building.
"Yesterday during the campaign meeting, the residents asked Gagik Beglaryan about their issue and he said that they had solved the issue two months ago. I have never heard such a lie," said president of the "Property Rights Defense" NGO Vachagan Hakobyan angrily and added that they have presented the embassies with documents that the residents have also lost the right to vote.
Parents of soldiers who were killed in peace were also holding a protest to demand a fair trial.
However, government officials did not greet or hear any one of them.
