DRAMBYANS TO BE DEPRIVED OF PROPERTY

Regions

The heirs of the Drambyans, living in Gyumri, are in peril; they may be exiled from their dwelling. Today Ashot Qalashyan, the head of the department of the Gyumri Municipality controlling the issue of illegal buildings and lands, demands Irina Abajyan, the heiress of the Drambyans to vacate house 26 on Alexnadrovski.

Irina Abajyan claims that house 26 comprising of 23 rooms belonged to her ancestors. In 1923 the house was taken from her with the right to property confiscation and given to self-government bodies.

The corresponding documents can be found in the archive of modern history, Irina Abajyan claims. After the collapse of the USSR, the house was returned to the heirs of the dynasty, Hasmik and Liana Drambyans, with the right to property under the court verdict. They are Irina’s mother and aunt.

Even then the doors of the house were closed for the heirs on motivation that the presence of residents would hinder the court procedures.

Court of First Instance of Shirak Marz has already moved to another district. The Municipality has decided to exile the legal owners instead of giving them the house.

Irina Abajyan qualifies the court verdict a violation of her rights as an owner.

Furthermore, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Municipality to put the house an action in 2006.
