YEREVAN. – Starting from Thursday, January 22, the employees of the Nairit chemical rubber plant of Armenia’s capital city of Yerevan will hold daily demonstrations outside the Office of the President, and until their demand is met and their unpaid salaries are paid.

Nairit CJSC Press Secretary Anush Harutyunyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am that the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Yervand Zakharyan, on Wednesday received five members of the property alienation commission of the plant, and promised to meet the Nairit workers’ demand within the next three months.

“[But] there is no clarity in all this, and the people will not rest without clarity; no one agrees with uncertainty,” Harutyunyan added, in particular.

Numerous Nairit employees state that they have exhausted all moderate measures, and therefore what remains for them is to resort to extreme measures, such as blocking off roads.

The eighteen 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 have assembled outside the Government Building and the Office of the President numerous times, and demanded a solution to their problems.
