Today A1+’s correspondent tried to find out whether the rumors that
the director of "Petak" fair threatens the employees to dismiss from
work in case they don’t give their passports are true.

In answer to our questions, some employees refuted the information and
protected the director stating that "he is a good and strict person"
and nobody can make them do anything against their will.

One of the respondents pointed out that he has worked for ages and
has never come across cases of collecting passports. She assumes
that some party members visit flats and collect passports but only
the most vulnerable stratum of the society agree to their offer.

The owner of the neighbouring pavilion noted, "It doesn’t matter that
our director comes from Karabakh.

He has nothing in common with President Kocharyan. He is a decent
person and uses no political linger".

Another seller confessed that she is a Republican, lives in Kentron,
and is fond of their district head who is also a Republican. She
assures that she willingly gave her passport to the party.

While we were interviewing the fair employees, the head guard learnt
about our visit and began to inquire about the aim of our visit.

He assured that no cases of passport collection have occurred in the
fair. One of the policemen noted that "we must take the permission
of the administration in case we want to clarify any data".

They deem the rumors about passport collection provocation towards
the fair and its employees.
