Two actions of protest were simultaneously held in Yerevan. The
demonstrators demanded their salaries.
ArmInfo's correspondent reports from the scene that the employees of
Cleanness Center CJSC gathered near the Yerevan Municipality.
Cleanness Center was liquidated in December 2014, with 315 employees
left unemployed. The demonstrators demanded their salaries.
In 2014, Cleanness Center CJSC was declared bankrupt and its whole
property was purchased by Sanitek (Lebanon). Nearly 100 employees
joined the new company, however, the issues of their registration
and wages have not been tackled yet. Sanitek needs both employees
and drivers, however, the job conditions do not satisfy the former
employees.
In the meantime, the employees fired from Nairit Plant gathered near
the Government building. They also demanded their salaries. They
handed a letter to the relevant department of the Government. The
response will be ready on Friday.
To recall, 1,700 employees of Nairit Plant were fired on Feb 6. A total
of 478 employees remain at the Plant now. Nairit Plant has been idle
since April 2010. The Plant's shares were given as security against
the CIS InterStateBank's 70 mln USD loan provided in 2006 for 5 years
- till late Dec 2011 - at 12.5% p.a. In 2006, 90% of Nairit Plant's
shares were sold to Rhinoville Property Limited (UK). The latter owns
an 89,999% stake in the plant, Armenian Ministry of Energy and Natural
Resources - 4,496%, Gazprom Armenia CJSC (previously ArmRusgasprom)
- 3,596%, and Yerevan Thermal Power Plant - 1,907%.
