Residents stay under open skies after being displaced from their homes because of police building standoff (video)
It is already the 4th day residents of Yerevan’s Burnazyan street cannot enter their homes. They were displaced after the attack on a police station in the neighbouring Khorenatis street for security reasons. “I have nowhere to live. Call your boss I want to talk to him. I have been under open skies for four days now. Let them give me a room in a hostel or somewhere else. All my relatives live abroad,” Aida Sahakyan, one of the residents of Burnazyan street, said the policemen on duty who did not allow her to enter her house. The residents are surprised that after forcing them off their homes the state did not provide them with temporary shelters. “There are many families who really have nowhere to go. On the other hand, how long can you bother your relatives – a day or two? We do not know how long this situation will continue,” said Arevik Harutyunyan, another resident of the street. The angered residents want to know who long they are going to live ‘under someone else's roof.’ By the way, as a result of negotiations, one of the residents was able to enter her house to pick up the necessary items.
