RESIDENTS OF BUZAND STREET AND MAIN AVENUE DID NOT LAY DOWN ARMS
Support A1+!Today the residents of Buzand Street will celebrate the birthday of Pavstos Buzand. Children will arrange a masked ball. Yesterday films were shown. First a documentary about the events of April 12-13 was shown, then a film titled Yerevan jan with Mikael Poghosyan performing the main part.
Today the residents of Buzand Street, the North and Main Avenues together with the land owners of Malatia-Sebastia community organized a protest action in front of the government building. The demand of the protesters is unchangeable. “We will defend our lands”, they state.
The demonstrators are indignant with the words of Karen Davtyan, the investment and construction office director. It is not true that some residents were paid $900 per a square meter, they say. “For a 100 sq. m. land and 2 or 3-room flats with basement and corresponding conveniences only $56 000 was paid ($215 foe sq. m.) 10% was deducted as an income tax.
Besides the sum was given part by part. During this period the price for real estate was raised and I couldn’t buy a flat,” resident of the North Avenue Tsovinar Davtyan complaints. Knarik Arakelyan was paid about $300 per sq. m. “I received $41 800 for 115.6 sq. m.”, she says.
