YEREVAN. – In response to the media reports that the Russian party has waived, once and for all, its interest in capital city Yerevan’s Nairit chemical [rubber] plant, the Energy and Natural Resources Ministry of Armenia stated that this information is not true.

A working group from the Russian Rosneft Company will arrive in Yerevan next week, to discuss the future courses of action in connection with Nairit Plant JSC, informs the ministry press service.

As for the SandbadTir INTL Transport Co. LTD of Iran, Nairit Plant JSC had sent a letter to the legal address of this company, and with a request for documents that prove the “existing debt,” but Nairit received a reply saying that such a company is not registered in the noted legal address.
