YEREVAN RESIDENTS PROTEST OUTSIDE ARMENIAN PARLIAMENT

Published in News Digest

By empty (2/18/2006 issue of the CACI Analyst)

Several dozen people, who have been evicted from houses in Yerevan\'s Buzand Street, congregated on 27 February outside the Armenian Parliament to protest the withdrawal by six parliamentarians of their signatures under an appeal to the Constitutional Court, RFE/RL\'s Armenian Service reported. The street is being demolition to make way for a new multimillion dollar development. A total of 32 parliament deputies initially signed the appeal, more than the minimum required of 27, but six of them, including deputies representing the ruling coalition, withdrew their signatures on 20 February following criticism from Prime Minister Andranik Markarian.

Some of the evicted families have filed suit against the Armenian government with the Strasbourg-based European Court of Human Rights, claiming that they have not been offered adequate recompense for the loss of their homes.
