“EREBUNY HAS TURNED INTO A CRIMINAL COMMUNE”

Social

While crossing the streets of Erebuny community you feel as if you are in a frontier village. The constructions of the neighboring communes arouse envy among the commune inhabitants.

“Once the flats of Erebuny were of great demand. Today things have changed, and nobody seems to be interested in the commune because of its dirty streets and shabby houses,” an elderly pensioner told A1+.

“Aresh has turned into a criminal district. People speak of the district head with great caution. During the elections the acting district head Mher Sedrakian was the only candidate as he had threatened all his contenders,” he adds.

Erebuny is the only commune without a church.

“Though a church is being built in the commune I have an impression that it will never be finished. The construction has been underway for 2 years,” an elderly woman told us.

Most of Levon Ter-Petrossian's relatives live in Erebuny. Ter-Petrossian's nephew Tigran Ter-Petrossian was elected to the Alderman during the elections of self-government bodies.

Inhabitants think that the upcoming elections will be rather tense in the commune as Ter-Petrossian's proponents are comparatively larger and Republican Mher Sedrakian will take every measure to rig the election.

I hardly remember an election conducted without faking. During the 2007 parliamentary elections there were scuffles almost every day. Unless they reach an agreement, the atmosphere will not quieten.
