Human rights defender Larissa Alaverdyan has issued a special report on
violations of human rights of the residents being expelled from their
houses over the construction project of Yerevan. Today the Ombudsman
met with journalists to tell that the report will be placed at the
website

Without mentioning any names or state structures infringing the rights
the residents L. Alaversyan diplomatically noted, “The violations can
be observed n the government resolution, the programs worked out by
the city administration and in the course of performing pleas.” The
forcible expelling and the amount of compensation aroused indignation
of the Ombudsman.

During today’s’ press conference L. Alaverdyan stated that the report
in not called to condemn the incumbent or the construction works
carried out in the capital. After attending Buzand Steet 23 and seeing
the expelled residents the Ombudsman concluded that the program caused
serious social tension, which, in her opinion can cause emergency
situation. “The authorities have to settle this issue”, she said.
