    RESIDENTS OF NORTHERN AVENUE OF YEREVAN INTEND TO GO ON A HUNGER-STRIKE

    YEREVAN, August 4 (Noyan Tapan). On August 5, a group of persons
    renting land plots in the Dalma Gardens and a group of residents of
    the Northern Avenue, organized a picket near the building of the RA
    government. They represented their problems to the Ministers that
    arrived to the sitting of the government and demanded the solve
    them. According to Vachagan Hakobian, the Chairman of the "Northern
    Avenue" public organization, the residents of the avenue will protect
    their rights with not only such methods. Application-complaints have
    already been sent to international organizations. According to him, a
    part of the residents is ready to undertake extreme measures, a
    hunger-strike and even self-immolation. According to V.Hakobian,
    unlawful actions were committed during realization of the territory of
    the Northern Avenue. In particular, physical violence was applied in
    relation to the residents, wrong estimation of apartments was carried
    out, the cases of the citizens not signing agreements were sent to the
    courts and they were solved in favor of the plaintiff, the state. A
    number of citizens remained without shelter, as it was impossible to
    buy apartments with the allocated money. To recap, upon the March 27
    2003 decision of the RA government "On Change of Borders of Lands in
    Dalma Gardens Subject to Protection and Change of Purpose," 256 out of
    530 hectares of the gardens are removed to the category of forest
    lands and about 50% of lands are transferred for building. It's
    envisaged to carry out construction, to build a highway, a road net,
    fairs and service entities in the above-mentioned 256 hectares.
