Employees of Malatia fair in Yerevan Malatia-Sebastia administrative
region have started their day with strike demanding the review of
renting fees.
Speaking to Tert.am one of the employees, Gevorg, said the fees
established by the market's leadership are for square meter territory:
for 4 sq. m they pay 6,000 drams a day, which means 1200 drams for a
square meter. The people say that the fees have not grown recently but
as far as the trade has stopped they cannot afford to pay the fee. `We
are standing there, people are not coming, we cannot pay 180,000
monthly,' one of the traders said.
They are also complaining of customs clearance price on the border,
saying they pay $5,000 for one kilo of clothes.
The leadership of the center came to listen to the striking employees
and informed that the fee has been established in accordance with the
tax set up by the State Revenue Committee and they, as a trade center,
have to pay it.
Later SRC representative arrived to negotiate with the leadership.
