Citizen of Shushi Angela Grigoryan came to Yerevan today with the hope that she would meet any official at the government and express her protest to Serzh Sargsyan through an official. Unlike other protesters, she was the most disappointed when she found out that the government had postponed its session.

Mother of three, widow Angela Grigoryan is protesting against new mayor of Shushi, Karen Avanesyan whose decision has left her family on the streets.

"I have been living in my home for 15 years. A new mayor came, saw that he had no other home to sell and has now moved on to us. They told me that I had signed and given consent to give my three-bedroom home to somebody else. Now my three children and I are out on the streets," said Angela Grigoryan.

Before coming to Yerevan, she had appealed to Artsakh President Bako Sahakyan in Stepanakert and had then come to Yerevan with no hope.

"I appealed to our president, but he told me to appeal to the court. I did just that, but the court closed the case. I haven't appealed to the higher instances yet," said Grigoryan.

Those gathered near the government building with different issues disappointed the refugee, saying that if the government hadn't paid attention to their problems for the past 8 years, it wouldn't solve her issue overnight.
