Nevertheless, 35 families are currently living there with their
children and grandkids. Even the workers of the municipality accept

There are a number of the problems in the dormitory.
The building has not been reconstructed since 1980.
The residents do not have normal bathrooms, the pipes are out of order,
plus the residents have to lodge here together with a number of rats
and mice.
"Two of my kids are constantly having infectious and intestinal
diseases", says one of the residents and adds, "The water pipes
are rusty, and the water keeps dripping on us whenever we enter
the bathroom".
The residents say they do not even have clear drinking water because of
a new construction opposite their which damaged their water pipes. But
they are afraid to turn to court in order to avoid future persecution.
The residents of the dormitory have turned to mayor Karo Israyelyan
more than once. The latter promised them to find a new building for
them to live. But still, all in vain.
