STRIKE IN GYUMRI
[07:52 pm] 15 December, 2006

Today the teachers of the Gyumri school N15 have gone on strike. Only
five teachers have decided to keep working. According headmaster
Hamazasp Khachatryan, the teachers demand their salary which they have
not received for a year.

On December 12 the headmaster asked them to wail a little longer as
the school has debts. Mr. Khachatryan considers this step of the
teachers hasty. Nevertheless, the teachers claim they should have
taken it earlier. According to teacher of physics Tamara Araqelyan,
she has to get more than 320 thousand AMD for 2005 and 2006.

The headmaster avoided answering questions about the volume of the
debt to the teachers.

The teachers try to solve the problem through the Shirak
governor. They claim if there is no solution they will go to higher
instances.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
