    The residents of the district Kozern which is also a realization zone
    are afraid that one day they will have the same fate as the residents
    of the North Avenue. They applied to the RA Government to get right
    of property for their houses. The Government promised to take care
    of it, but the residents are not sure.

    Today the head of the NGO "Community and Right" Samvel Lazarian
    who represents the rights of the Kozern residents rendered a press
    conference.

    According to the census carried out by the NGO, there are 783
    people living in Kozern 153 of which are not included in ht official
    lists. There are 7-8 elite houses in the district which belong to
    rich people and are not threatened. As for the other residents,
    they have been forbidden to carry out construction work.

    "We applied to the President, the municipality and the Prime
    Minister, but all our applications appear in the office of the Yerevan
    municipality urban development program which does not correspond to
    the promise we were given".

    Samvel Lazarian claims that the residents have applied to the local
    cadastre to register their houses but they were rejected. Nevertheless,
    the residents of Kozern are going to fight till the end. They
    expect an answer within 10 days, otherwise "Kozern will announce
    civic disobedience". They did not explain what they by "civic
    disobedience". Samvel Lazarian joked, "We will announce Kozern an
    independent republic".
