Citizen demands to return his confiscated house (video)
Sedrak Baghdasaryan, who has been renting a house for 13 years, now demands to return back his home, which was recognized as state interest during Robert Kocharyan's reign in 2005. "The area which had been given to the government for the construction of Griar CJSC, there was my home. 'Yerevan Investment Program Implementation Unit' SNCO rated it 23,000 dollars," Sedrak Baghdasaryan stated at the meeting with reporters today. In 2005, the Kentron and Nork-Marash Court decided to pay Sedrak Baghdasaryan $23,000 for his house and expel him from Buzand 25, apt. 16. By passing through all the courts of the Republic of Armenia, Sedrak Baghdasaryan applied to the European Court of Human Rights in 2005, as, according to him, there was no public interest in depriving him of his property. "A letter from the European Court came to me in which it was written that a 140-square-foot apartment, a 50-meter distant from my house, would be provided me, but the pit of that building is still not drilled." Sedrak Baghdasaryan has sent a letter to Gevorg Kostanyan to give him his apartment within two months, but he is still waiting for a reply. The Ministry of Justice demands that Sedrak Baghdasaryan return $ 23,000 in exchange for a flat, but the latter refuses to return the money as it has not received from the state. That amount was provided by Griar CJSC. Sedrak Baghdasaryan is applying to the European Court again for the issue that he has not been provided with an apartment. Sedrak Baghdasaryan now has one demand from the government: to return his home.
