Former Artzvashen Residents Stage Protest Opposite Presidential Palace

As we go to press, dozens of former residents who were forcibly removed from the Armenian enclave of Artzvashen in Azerbaijan are protesting across from the presidential palace in Yerevan. They are protesting poor living conditions they’ve had to endure ever since immigrating to Armenia in the early 1990’s, during the Artsakh War.

Some 20 policemen are on the scene as well. Some of the protestors have been allowed to enter the presidential palace to express their concerns to Control Service Chief Hovhannes Hovsepyan. Some 679 families fled the enclave in 1992 during the Artsakh War and immigrated to Armenia. Many reside in the town of Jambarak and the village of Drakhtik, in wooden or dilapidated houses.
