Protesters to return to presidential residence Jan 23
a group of Yerevan residents, who were staging a round-the-clock sit-in outside the president's residence, were forced to terminate the protest on Friday because of unfavourable weather conditions.
"We shall resume the sit-in on Monday. We are hopeful that the weather will warm up till then," said Sona Maghakyan, a participant of the protest action.
Residents of Buzand and Yerkmalyan streets gathered outside the presidential residence demanding to restore justice. They have lived in rented houses for six years as they have been denied access to their flats in a new multi-apartment residential building in central Yerevan. They have already signed preliminary contracts with Gabbnakshin Ltd - the chief shareholder in the construction project, and paid the required sum of money. Later, they found out that their apartments had been resold by the company.
