A group of residents of houses in Sayat Nova Street have lain down on the ground to prevent heavy construction equipment from entering their yard.
ArmInfo's correspondent reports from the scene that they are trying to prevent the project to build a six-storied hotel in the place of their boiler station. The constructor has called the police. The protesters are resisting.
To remind, for a few days already several hundreds of residents of Yerevan's Center community have been demanding that the municipal authorities stop their construction project in one of the central yards.
They say that the project is contrary to all town planning, architectural, seismic and safety rules and add that the boiler station located in their yard and heating their houses was privatized without their knowledge.
