YEREVAN. - Workers of the Glass World Company glass-manufacturing plant in Byureghavan town of Armenia’s Kotayk province are again demanding their salaries. The workers held a demonstration by the Presidential Palace today. According to them, they haven’t received salary for 4-5 months.

One of the workers named Anahit told Armenian News – NEWS.am correspondent that the plant director told the workers he wouldn’t be able to pay the salary before the New Year.

“In the Presidential Palace we were told to return to Byureghavan where the director will respond to us. The director has still promised to give a concrete answer in several days. We don’t quite believe this since earlier he also promised to pay before December 15 but never did that,” Anahit said.  

The workers demanded their salaries back in August. The head of the company’s Legal Department Armen Torosyan stated that the company will pay the salaries by the end of August, and the debts have accumulated because the exporters to Russia themselves owe the plant due to difficulties in selling the product in Russia.
