A relative of Armenian statesman Garegin Nzhdeh, has been staging a
strike outside the Presidential residence for 160 days.
75-year-old Emma Sahakyan, the daughter of Nzhdeh's brother, asks
Serzh Sargsyan to restore justice in order to be able to return to her
apartment lost through fraud.
The desperate woman has not received any response from Serzh Sargsyan
during the five-month-long sit-in and 21-day hunger strike. Emma
Sahakyan says not a single official came to her to inquire about the
reasons of the protest although she has sent numerous letters to the
country's president and prime minister. The woman once tried to stop
Serzh Sargsyan's convoy but the police officers roughly pushed her
aside.
Because of the weather changes the 75-year-old woman has developed
serious health problems. She has sent a letter to the Yerevan Mayor
asking the Municipality's permission to erect a tent in the area, but
has not received any answer.
In despair, the woman decided to spend the night in a tent without permission.
"A policeman named Surik came, broke the tent and forced me off," she
tells. The woman later informed Mayor Taron Margaryan about the
incident but the official said the matter was not beyond his
jurisdictions.
