53 year-old Aziz Baghdasaryan, a single Yerevan resident, is deadly afraid that her neighbors will have her declared insane as a ruse to take possession of her house.
She confessed her worst fears during a visit to the offices of "Hetq". "There are two homes in our courtyard. One belongs to me and I’ve always have had problems with the family that lives in the other," she said, claiming that she’s already had an interview with a psychologist dispatch to her house by the troublesome neighbours.
Ms. Baghdasaryan lives in a 58 square meter house on a lot approximately twice that size.
"They’ve told me that they want me committed to an insane asylum and have told people that I do abnormal things with children in the privacy of the bathroom. I’ve seen a psychologist Narineh Stepanyan and she left seemingly convinced that I was normal. However, she wrote down in her log that I was a menace to society."
"This year they forced me to go to the Nubarashen asylum. I was able to call my sister who came after me. The head doctor there convened a review panel that interviewed me and found there was no cause to hold me," Ms. Baghdasaryan continued.
The feuding neighbours have often come to blows and a criminal case into the matter is now underway at the
Shengavit District Court. The proceedings have also raised the subject of Ms. Baghdasaryan’s mental state.
"Given that psychologist Stepanyan gave me a negative assessment but I was cleared by the Nubarashen facility, Judge Kostanyan has ordered psychological testing for one month. I will be obligated to stay in an asylum and prove that I am not nuts. The judge could have ordered an out-patient review in order that I not stay inside for a month," said Ms. Baghdasaryan.
She is now waiting for the notice to turn herself in to the Nubarashen Asylum.
