NAIRIT EMPLOYEES RELY ON ROSNEFT
18:39 | June 18,2014 | Social
Artashes Avetisyan, the founding chairman of the Kamq (Will) civil
movement, is hopeful that the problem of Nairit plant will be resolved
with Armenia's accession to the Eurasian Economic Union.
If Rosneft Oil Company agrees to re-operate the plant based on the
results of an audit performed by the Russian company, it will create
new opportunities for workers. However, if Rosneft refuses to operate
the plant, then the government should be forced to find new investors
for the final solution to the problem," said Mr Avetisyan.
He says the plant which was opened about 74 years ago, should attract
multi-million-dollar investment which can be made only by companies
that have high asset turnover.
Speaking about the accumulated salary arrears, Artashes Avetisyan
stressed that the amount of money necessary for repaying the salaries
is not so much as the amount needed for the plant's reopening.
"However, the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources refrains from
repaying the salaries although it owns 10 % of the plant's shares."
Nairit Plant CJSC, which produces chloroprene rubber and was considered
a giant of its kind during the Soviet era, hasn't been operating
since 2010. Only 500 of its 2500 employees today work in the plant.
