The 83 homeowners of Amiryan 4/4 have been homeless for 10 years and are unable to legally force the developers to speed up the construction process because they have signed a “non-expiration” contract with the Ministry of Finance. During the press conference, one of the homeowners Vachagan Tadevosyan (pictured), said that the “non-expiration” contract was signed due to the convincing of Finance Minister Advisor Hayk Davtyan who persuaded confidently that the “homes will be provided in 3 months.”
According to Vachagan Tatevosyan, he had space for a store, which after giving it away he would receive a 70 square meters apartment in the semi-constructed building. Similar deals have been sealed by 23 other property owners, while 60 people have bought apartments in the semi-constructed building. The contracts have been sealed with the presence of Yerevan Municipality representative Melik Gasparyan. The latter has died, and his wife, Anahit Mnatsakanyan, who has taken over his role is not answering the calls of the homeowners.
“She responds to our calls saying we should call Abrahamyan. She means Hovik Abrahamyan (current Prime Minister), who likely owns the whole building, because he also owns a hotel on the other side of the building, and is currently running a car wash under our building. It’s his building,” said Tadevosyan. In his words, it’s not a coincidence that the windows installed in the building are only placed on the outside part, in order “to not ruin the look of Abrahamyan’s new hotel,” while from the yard’s side, there are no windows. There are not even elevators installed from the yard’s side.
Construction workers have promised that the building will be handed over in about 7 months.
Epress.am tried to get in contact with Anahit Mnatsakanyan, however, the number Tadevosyan gave was a person who claimed that he owned the number for 6 years and that he does not know “any Anahit Mnatsakanyan.”
