    DOZENS OF PEOPLE LIVE IN OLD RAMSHACKLE LODGING IN GYUMRI

    The Shirak Kentron NGO reports that dozens of people are living in
    a ramshackle building in Gyumri.

    "27-year-old Liana, a single mother with five children, has never
    had a flat. She, as well as her children, was born and grew up in a
    hostel of the Lentextile factory, which was damaged by the earthquake
    on December 7, 1988. Since them, the building has been falling into
    ruin, but dozens of people are still living there.

    "The building is located in central Gyumri, not far from the Shirak
    regional administration and police department, and belongs to an
    individual.

    "About half of the 20 families living the in tumbledown building once
    came from different republics of the USSR and are of different ethnic
    origin. Most of them are not on the housing list," says the report.

    Also, the building has no water-supply or sewerage. The shaky
    staircases pose a threat to the residents any moment.
