YEREVAN. – The Government of Armenia has not yet transferred the due salaries of 600 employees of the Nairit chemical plant in capital city of Yerevan.

Nairit former Press Secretary Anush Harutyunyan informed about the above-said to Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“They had promised to transfer [these wages] yesterday [i.e. Monday], but there was no transfer,” said Harutyunyan. “We’ll wait today; if there is no transfer, we’ll assemble again tomorrow outside the Government Building, to demand our [overdue] salaries.”

The aforesaid wage arrears are paid by the state, and on the account of the profits of state-run energy companies.

A total of 1,800 from the 2,400 Nairit employees have already received their unpaid salaries, and the remaining 600 employees’ wages were promised to be transferred on Monday.

The plant workers have assembled outside the Government Building and the Office of the President numerous times, and demanded a solution to their salary-related problems.

The Nairit chemical plant, which manufactures synthetic rubber, does not operate since April 2010.
