    COLLAPSING BUILDING RESIDENTS' NEW APARTMENTS PROMISED TO RESIDENTS OF ANOTHER COLLAPSING BUILDING

    03.03.2014 18:16 epress.am

    At the request of residents of the "level 4 emergency" building at 3
    Sisakyan St., Deputy Yerevan Mayor Vahe Nikoyan visited the building
    and promised to rehouse 5 families living in the worst part of this
    building in the newly constructed building at 22 Sisakyan St. -- if
    families at 15 Shinararneri St. turn down the apartments offered to
    them. This news was conveyed to Epress.am by resident Lilit Kocharyan.

    Recall, residents of 3 Sisakyan St. claim the municipality is biased
    in its actions by providing new apartments not to those residents
    in the worst part of the building, but to those on the other side,
    "saying to the others, wait until May 2015, [then] we'll resolve the
    apartment issues."

    A few days ago, a group of disgruntled residents went to the
    president's residence, asking to establish a commission of experts,
    to convince them that the apartments were distributed incorrectly.

    According to Kocharyan, a group of representatives of city hall and
    the president's office today came to their building, parts of which
    collapsed over the past few days.

    "Nikoyan came with a group of staff and inspected the site. Everyone
    saw that because of the collapsing parts, the Ministry of Emergency
    Situations sealed off the building's courtyard. Convinced that we're
    truly in a desperate situation, he suggested an option. He said if
    the remaining 5 families at 15 Shinararneri St. refuse resettlement,
    the vacant apartments can be provided to 5 of our families. The
    deputy mayor also said he will personally call the residents of the
    aforementioned apartment and demand a final solution to the problem:
    either the residents move or they continue to refuse and lose the
    [new] apartments," said Kocharyan.

    Resident of 15 Shinarneri St. Anush Gasparyan, speaking to the
    Epress.am correspondent earlier, said that in their case, the city hall
    "resettled building residents with clear violations."

    "I was given a smaller apartment at 22 Sisakyan; meanwhile, several
    residents of the building received apartments with greater square
    footage. Forging documents, they brought and registered people in
    our building then resettled them in the newly constructed building on
    Sisakyan street. Naturally, not agreeing to the smaller apartments, our
    and another family didn't agree to leave the building," Gasparyan said,
    adding that they have launched a lawsuit against Yerevan City Hall.

    Epress.am today asked Gasparyan to comment on Nikoyan's proposal.

    Gasparyan was not informed that the deputy mayor had made such a
    promise. "The municipality's unfair distribution wasn't enough,
    now [the municipality] is using the language of threats. [If only]
    Nikoyan... at least once met with us and heard our demands, then make
    a decision. To be honest, at this moment I can't say anything," she
    said, adding that the municipality, in turn, has launched a lawsuit
    against the remaining families in the building.
