The victims of state needs (those evicted from the Northern Avenue,
the Aram and Buzand Streets) gathered today at the Russian Embassy
in Yerevan. Over 50 people demanded explanation how Mayor of Moscow
Yuri Luzhkov has obtained several buildings in Pushkin street “without
asking their permission”.
“Do the government and President Putin know how much Mayor Luzhkov paid
for a square meter?” chairman of the committee for protection of the
Northern Avenue Vachagan Hakobyan said. Committee representative Sedrak
Baghdasaryan found out that Ches-Tor Moscow organization is going to
construct 6 buildings in Pushkin street. He produced documents, which
say that Ches-Tor is registered at the address of Rublev road, where
the company belonging to Luzhkov’s wife Yelena Baturina is situated.
Moreover, the residents also produced document saying that 81% stocks
of GRIAR Armenian organization, registered in the state register
November 21, 2003, also belongs to Ches-Tor. Sedrak Baghdasaryan
informed that in early 2004 GRIAR’s debt to the government made 3
million 343 thousand AMD.
However, despite the debt the government has granted 8 thousand square
meters to the organization to the realization of its project.
To note, the embassy guards forbade an operator of Shant TV Company
to shoot the embassy building and the demonstrators.
