PROTESTORS SEE NO RESULTS FROM VISIT TO ARMENIAN PRESIDENT'S RESIDENCE

Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan is lying when he says that people
live well, that everything is good. This simply isn't true, head of
Property Rights Protection NGO Vachagan Hakobyan told Epress.am while
participating in the protest outside the government building today.
Recall, the head of the NGO assisting residents who were evicted
from buildings 4/14 to 4/24 Amiryan St. had told Epress.am earlier
that MP Melik Gasparyan, who died from a car accident two years,
had purchased the property in question from city hall 4 years ago
and had apparently promised the residents new homes.
Today, Hakobyan said that a few members of their group, along with
pilots with disabilities who say compensation owing to them has not
yet been paid and the mothers of deceased soldiers who protest every
Thursday, last week went to the presidential residence to present
their concerns.
"A delegation of ours went in, and, as always, they said they will
send the issue to the necessary bodies. The issue here is that
[Armenian President] Serzh Sargsyan, who stands up in Strasbourg or
congratulates us on Constitution Day, tells lies... Everywhere he
says that we're good, everything is good. I'm going to also go talk
with the Armenian National Congress not to go but to say that we
are demanding pre-term elections; we have to simply say resign and
the people stand until these guys come. This is what remains. [These
authorities] do nothing; they only have formal speeches on television.
The country's president is lying and the sooner we become free from
these authorities, the sooner the people will begin to live well,"
said Hakobyan.
The head of the Property Rights Protection NGO also recalled that
when Serzh Sargsyan was still prime minister, he met with them and
publicly promised to find a solution to their issue. This visit,
however, has not yet yielded any results, he said.
