YEREVAN. – Several dozens of former and current workers of Nairit chemical plant are holding protest actions near the Republic Square of Yerevan.

The goal of the action is to raise awareness about their problems.

Former spokesperson for the plant Anush Harutyunyan said awareness march will be followed by an action near the government's building. They said only 700 workers got the wages, while 1,200 had not received anything.

In 2006, Armenia sold 90 per cent of Nairit company’s shares to the British Consortium Rhinoville Property Limited for $40 million. Since then the company hasn’t practically appeared before the public or press. In 2006 the CIS Interstate Bank opened a $70 million credit for Rhinoville.The Armenian government owes 10 percent of the shares.

The factory that was producing chloroprene rubber has not been operating since 2010.
