Two actions of protest simultaneously held in Yerevan

 Two actions of protest were simultaneously held in Yerevan. The demonstrators demanded their salaries.   

ArmInfo's correspondent reports from the scene that the employees of Cleanness Center CJSC gathered near the Yerevan Municipality. Cleanness Center was liquidated in December 2014, with 315 employees left unemployed. The demonstrators demanded their salaries.   

In 2014, Cleanness Center CJSC was declared bankrupt and its whole property was purchased by Sanitek (Lebanon). Nearly 100 employees joined the new company, however, the issues of their registration and wages have not been tackled yet. Sanitek needs both employees and drivers, however, the job conditions do not satisfy the former employees.      
In the meantime, the employees fired from Nairit Plant gathered near the Government building. They also demanded their salaries. They handed a letter to the relevant department of the Government. The response will be ready on Friday.     

To recall, 1,700 employees of Nairit Plant were fired on Feb 6. A total of 478 employees remain at the Plant now. Nairit Plant has been idle since April 2010. The Plant's shares were given as security against the CIS InterStateBank's 70 mln USD loan provided in 2006 for 5 years - till late Dec 2011 - at 12.5% p.a. In 2006, 90% of Nairit Plant's shares were sold to Rhinoville Property Limited (UK). The latter owns an 89,999% stake in the plant, Armenian Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources - 4,496%, Gazprom Armenia CJSC (previously ArmRusgasprom) - 3,596%, and Yerevan Thermal Power Plant - 1,907%.
