“WE DO NOT WANT ANYTHING GRATIS”
- more images
Over 35 families of Abovian town live in a hostel subject to a demolition. The municipality employees don’t rule out an irretrievable disaster as they are well-aware of the building state.
“We are completely hopeless. We can do nothing but hope for authorities’ mercy and support. We jump for fear at each bang and rattle. It seems as if the whole building will fall to ruins,” 45-year-old Arus, a hostel inhabitant, told A1+.
A few months ago Ms. Arus moved to a rented flat with her children. But she couldn’t afford the rent with her modest salary. “I can hardly afford our bare necessities. Besides, the rent was too high. Therefore, I returned to the hostel,” she says.
The hostel was last repaired in 1980. The inhabitants don’t have normal public convenience. “All pipes became rusty. Slops drip on our heads in lavatories,” the residents complained to A1+.
They don't even have clean drinking water. The owner of the neighboring building damaged water pipes during the construction.
The residents have applied to Mayor Karo Israyelian many times. The latter has promised to allot new premises to them but so far he hasn't kept his promise. Three months ago the residents issued a written letter to the mayor. “We urge you to see to the matter as soon as possible. The fundament of the building is decomposed. You had better construct a new building than repair the old one. We shall pawn everything to help you with construction. Our spouses are constructors. We don’t want anything free of charge.”
Three months have passed since but the letter has received no feedback.
