Today workers in ‘ Hrazdan ‘ fair organized demonstration in front
of the Government House and spoke out against the illegal actions
towards them.
The owner of the fair RPA member Ashot Aghababyan gave 3 days for the
employees either to pay taxes or to quit the jobs. ‘The employers hire
only 20-26 year old applicants. The best and experienced teachers
and doctors are dismissed from their jobs. They are not allowed to
do even this job to keep their families,’ the strikers complained.
At present they have to pay 225.000 AMD for a booth.
The administration used to pay the taxes, but now the employees have
to do it. ‘90% of the population is in debts. They are unable to
earn their living. Even the Turk was not able to humiliate Armenians,
but they managed to do it in our country,’ the strikers told.
In fact, a dozen of strikers were regulated by the same amount of
policemen who did not allow them to make a step forward.
Several demonstrators were received by some government employees and
promised to raise the question for consideration at tomorrow’s meeting.
