ArmInfo. The press secretary of Yerevan's Mayor, Hayk Kostanyan, has responded to the protest action by the residents of the "Haghtanak" neighborhood in the Malatia-Sebastia administrative district.

This afternoon, a group of residents from the mentioned neighborhood  briefly blocked a section of the "North-South" highway in the  Malatia-Sebastia administrative district, demanding that Yerevan City  Hall resolve their issues regarding obtaining cadastral certificates  for their real estate. They claim that they are unable to conduct any  real  due to the lack of  new certificates, despite assurances from  the Mayor's office and Mayor Tigran Avinyan. They believe that the  current authorities want to seize their land. The protesters also  noted that this was an action to draw the attention of the city  authorities to their problem, and if they do not receive responses  within a week, then thousands of citizens will join them in protest.

In this regard, he assured that the mayor's office  has started to take concrete steps to address this issue.
