Hostel residents start sit-in outside President's Residence
Former residents of Etchmiadzin's Hostel N1 have started a sit-in outside the presidential residence urging Serzh Sargsyan to return the building to its dwellers.
By a government decision the building was allocated to socially vulnerable people but nine months ago the 26 families of the hostel were sent to the street.
The government stated that the building was under the threat of collapse and needed urgent repairs. However, the city hall delayed the overhaul due to lack of finances. As a result, the 70 residents of the hostel appeared in the street.
The presidential administration promised the desperate residents to tackle the issue in the near future.
