    25 Years Later: Many Seniors are On Their Own

    There are scores of families left homeless by the 1988 earthquake in
    Armenia who have been living in makeshift housing for the past 25
    years.

    These are people who, for a number of reasons, never got their names
    registered on the official waiting list for replacement housing.

    Many are senior citizens, never filed the proper paperwork by the
    November 1, 2008 deadline.

    Today, Shirak Center staff members finally located one such elderly
    woman living by herself in a small hut amidst the ruins of the former
    Electrotechnic Factory.

    The hut has no utilities whatsoever.

    We had heard about her plight in early February and had been tracking
    her down ever since.
