The miners of Agarak's copper molybdenum factory will go on strike
from November 11 in case their demands are not met. They staged a
warning strike on November 5-6.
The factory administration has decided to send over 300 employees
to a forced outage and fire 50 pensioners. Most residents of Meghri
and Agarak make their daily bread thanks to the factory which once
employed 1300 people. Residents of frontier settlements have no other
source of income.
The miners accuse the acting director, Georgian Gerogy Devadze Guramov,
of this mess. Guramov assumed the post in January of this year. The
strikers state the director utilizes the company's income for his
personal interests. Gerogy Guramov declined to comment on the awkward
situation. Instead, he connected it with the financial crisis at the
international market.
