In Sochi, residents of dilapidated house refuse to move to one-room apartment allocated by authorities to 14 persons

In Sochi, 14 persons, who live in a house recognized dilapidated, refuse to comply with the court's decision and move to a one-room apartment in Vinogradnaya Street allocated to them by the Mayor's Office. According to the tenants of the dilapidated house, the apartment allocated for their resettlement is too small, and, the most important thing is that the construction of the very new house has not yet been completed.

"Officials want to settle to one room me and my five minor daughters and sons born in my second marriage..." Angela Topchyan, a tenant of the house, has told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent. And the woman has continued: "I'm pregnant and waiting for my seventh child. In two months, there will be seven of us. According to the court and Mayor's Office, apart from my large family, the same apartment is allocated to my former husband, his minor 7-year-old son, born in his second marriage, our common adult son Suren Khaladjyan, born in 1996, Aleda, a sister of my former husband and her adult son Zvard Khaladjyan, my ex-mother-in-law, who is a Category II invalid, and Anait Khaladjyan, her adult daughter, who is disabled since her childhood. In total, there are 14 persons. However, we are not horses in a stall to sleep standing up. The allocated room is not enough even to place beds for 14 persons."

Meanwhile, according to the tenants of the dilapidated house, they are still not been provided with the documents for the apartment in No. 238 "G" in Vinogradnaya Street. "The court has made a decision to annul our current registration; however, no one has even announced an intention to register us at another place," Zvard Khaladjyan has said.

According to Roman Shikarev, the leader of the movement "Law and Order", there are cases when Sochi authorities settle people to houses under construction, and there are cases when the authorities allocate one-room apartments to several families at once and thus jeopardize their lives and health.
