<\/a><\/p>\nDuring the demonstration, 5 representatives of kiosk owners, along with supporter, head of the Heritage Party’s parliamentary faction Styopa (Stepan) Safaryan, went inside the president’s residence, where they handed over a letter they addressed to the president and met with head of the RA President’s Control Service Hovhannes Hovsepyan.<\/p>\n
The meeting lasted nearly 2 hours.<\/p>\n
During the entire duration of the protest there were several police vehicles, as well as several youth who informed the Epress.am reporter on the scene that they don’t participate in protests, but what’s happening outside the presidential residence is “very interesting” for them.<\/p>\n A few of the youth refused to make contact with others and some, seeing that they were being photographed by journalists, hid their faces or left the premises for a period of time.<\/p>\n After the meeting between Hovhannes Hovsepyan and kiosk owners, delegates left the building in apparently a bad mood, with one of them, Mrs. Arevik, even having tears in her eyes.<\/p>\n Mrs. Arevik told Epress.am that they were told that Yerevan City Hall’s decision cannot be disputed and Hovsepyan, according to the kiosk owner, repeated verbatim Yerevan mayor Karen Karapetyan’s words, that the kiosks have to be demolished in order to improve the city.<\/p>\n “And I told him, it’s very odd that they’re repeating the same thing verbatim. It means that this decision was made at a high level \u2014 that’s why all their remarks are as one. They want a beautiful city \u2014 at the expense of allowing families to go hungry. I didn’t leave Armenia even during the most difficult times, but I have no other choice, I will be forced to leave, to go from here,” she said.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
