Armenia Government gives no answer to chemical plant workers

YEREVAN. - Hundreds of employees of Nairit chemical rubber plant of
Armenia's capital city of Yerevan, and who demand their unpaid
salaries, had assembled outside the Government building on Friday and
they were demanding the promised response.
Several days ago, the government had promised the Nairit workers that
a timetable would be prepared on the payment of these wages and this
timetable would be presented to them by no later than Friday.
The workers, however, did not receive the government's promised
response on Friday, and therefore they marched toward the Office of
the President.
At the presidential office, the head of its Department of Letters and
Receptions, Aida Asatryan, received several Nairit employees.
"We passed on our demands which they promised to transmit to the
leadership," Nairit CJSC Press Secretary Anush Harutyunyan, who also
attended the aforementioned meeting, told Armenian News-NEWS.am. "We
decided to again stage protests outside the presidential residence,
since any response--which we get even from the ministry--will not be
without the President's decision."
Subsequently, the Nairit workers ended their protest for the day, and
their next demonstration will be on February 23.
As reported earlier, a total of 1,700 Nairit employees were formally
discharged as of February 6. The eighteen months of unpaid wages of
the employees of Nairit chemical rubber plant, which no longer
operates, total Armenian drams equivalent to approximately $15
million. The workers had assembled outside the Government Building and
the Office of the President numerous times and demanded a solution to
their problems, but to no avail, so far.
