As regards the program of resettlement of the dwellers of the 4th level emergency buildings at 4th lane of Artsakh street it was reported that some citizens were discontented with the offered price for 1 sq m calculated for purchasing their flats. Instead of dormitory rooms of 18-35 sq m the community offers them to purchase bigger flats priced 402 thousand drams per 1 sq m. The vice-mayor stressed that this amount is enough to purchase a property in different parts of the city except the city centre. The situation has to do with vulnerable building which can collapse as a result of an earthquake. The Municipality feels the responsibility of those people’s safety although it is beyond their direct responsibility. However, the consensus with residents should be found first.
