Litigation

A video is being published on the Internet in which Kochian said that he had lived in this place since the age of four.

In 2018, a fire broke out on the territory, after which the authorities allegedly decided to recognize the buildings as illegal.

“I have been living in these houses since I was four.

They just brought it - they didn’t allow the land to be formalized, they said “no”, then the government changed.

Not everything is for sale - I am not for sale.

It's mine.

The land of my parents, the land of my children and mine.

I do not regret what I did.

I tell Andranik - talk to a lawyer.

He says no, I have nothing to talk about.

Well, if they don't want to talk, then the conversation is different, ”says Kochian.

According to him, there are 48 apartments on the territory, but after they were recognized as unauthorized buildings, no one began to settle people. 

“I didn't want that, of course.

But no one came to talk to the people, no one.

At least they said: 48 apartments, let's put things in order.

We will make a parking lot, a playground.

Not!

Pick up and make shops, stalls.

All of them have little money.

Let their parents cry now. "

As RT found out, the Sochi administration went to court with a claim for the demolition of illegal buildings on Prosvescheniya Street in 2016.

Officially, a garage cooperative was located there, one of the founders of which was Vartan Kochian.

In fact, as follows from the material of the court, there were no garages there, but stalls and houses were built.

At the same time, a permit for the construction of the above facilities on this land plot was not issued.

The co-defendant in the claim was not only Kochian, but also 4 more people.

The court ordered the defendants to demolish the squatter. 

In 2019, the administration again filed a lawsuit against the owners of illegal buildings and again won the court. 

“In 2019, a statement of claim was filed for the recognition of capital construction buildings located on a land plot at the address of the city of Sochi, Adler district, Prosvescheniya street, uch.

81/2 unauthorized construction.

These are one-storey barrack-type buildings located in the first sanitary zone next to the railway.

On September 7, the administration's claim was satisfied, ”the Sochi administration said.

In 2021, litigation continued.

In March, the administration and the owners of the unauthorized building filed counterclaims against each other.

The preliminary court hearing on them was supposed to take place on June 21, 2021. 

According to the Main Directorate of the Federal Bailiff Service in the Krasnodar Territory, three enforcement proceedings have been drawn up against Vartan Kochian.

From 2018, 1 thousand rubles should be collected from him.

And according to the writ of execution, in 2016, an arrest was imposed.
