YEREVAN. – Former pilots, flight attendants, and aviation engineers of Armavia Airline Company—which is Armenia’s national carrier—applied to Zhoghovurd daily, telling that the company has not paid their seven months’ salary, the daily reports.

“But the noteworthy [thing] in this story is not that the airline company’s most important specialists were not appreciated, but rather this company swindled the Republic of Armenia.         

‘Social [security] payments are not made in our name ever since 2011. Of course, deductions were made, we received the salary, but, now, we found out that the company has not made social [security] payments from 2011 to November 2013. There are people that will retire; this problem is not resolved, either,’ Armavia’s former employees resentfully noted.

Armavia [representatives] informed Zhoghovurd that they will respond to this matter after the holidays,” Zhoghovurd writes.
