YEREVAN. – Opposition Armenian National Congress National Assembly (ANC NA) Faction Head Levon Zurabyan and Faction Secretary Aram Manukyan promised the employees of Nairit chemical rubber plant of Armenia’s capital city of Yerevan, and who demand their unpaid salaries, to help them in this matter.

The ANC MPs told the plant workers, who have assembled outside the NA building on Tuesday, that they will be writing a letter to the Prime Minister on behalf of their faction, and continuing to raise this matter in the parliament.

“I advise you to be united; your problem will be solved only this way,” Zurabyan especially told the protesting Nairit employees.

As reported earlier, a total of 1,700 Nairit workers were formally discharged as of February 6. The 18 to 24 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.
