“Let me live in my house, O God of your father, let me die.” Initiated deacon Manukyan

It’s been a few years Artistic director of “Sasun” national song-dance ensemble Andranik deacon Manukyan is fighting to keep his own house from collapsing, the reason being the construction going on in the adjacent part of the house. Everyone is aware of this problem, starting with Nikol Pashinyan, but the construction is going on at the same pace, the foundations of the house are being destroyed day by day.

“They are working relentlessly, the problem in my house continues, they are making it to the point that I will have a heart attack and die, they are making people leave their house, as they have done to many people. The sad thing is that Nikol Pashinyan is aware of this problem, and all this is under his control. I turned to him many times, asked him, told him to come and see with his own eyes. there was a time when he asked me not to raise my voice, he said that the Inspection Body is a structure attached to his staff, he is aware of the problem and will provide a solution.

But he didn’t solve it, he just put it under my head so that they could say that everything is legal according to the court decisions and the conclusions of some experts. There are many documents that prove that illegal construction is going on. In 2018, there is a conclusion by the Urban Planning Committee urging to refrain from construction in this area.

The other main fact is that Artur Meschyan was a resident of this yard and protested so that the apartment building would not be built, but when he became the chief architect of Yerevan, he approved this project.” of 168.am Andranik deacon Manukyan said in a conversation with

According to him, the head of the country is fully aware of all this, and instead of taking steps, they are inactive. Moreover, deacon Andranik says that if they want to see corruption, crime, security, they can visit him and he will show them.

“I am speaking loudly: the system threatens me, my family, so that I leave here gradually. After demolishing the parking lot, there is a 12 meter gap under the foundation of my house. The foundations of my house are gradually being demolished, I am afraid that I will remain under the rubble. Before I became their leader, I was there, I did work, I presented culture and I continue to do it, I was engaged in fundraising. Whom have I harmed so far? I say: let me live in my house, let me die to the God of your father. They are so honest, let Nikol Pashinyan come to my house with his staff or alone, I have been following them since 2018. What, they want to discredit me or buy me, they can’t, it won’t work,” he stressed.

The deacon also conveyed that there was a time when his speeches were canceled just because he spoke about his problem. Or there were concerts when he sang, but then they approached him and told him not to make any speech from the stage, not to voice any criticism. At the same time, his wife was fired.

“I told everyone that if they come to demolish your house, don’t make a sound, obey like a slave,” emphasized Andranik deacon Manukyan.
