About 200 people come to protest action of "Nairit" workers

In Yerevan, protesters have demanded from the government to resume the operation of the "Nairit" plant and hold a meeting with a potential investor. According to the organizers of the protest action, it involved about 200 people, the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent reports.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the "Nairit" plant, which produced chloroprene rubber, stays idle since April 2010. On August 13, the workers of the plant learned that the Slovak holding "EU-Asia Business Finance Centre" proposed the Armenian authorities to invest in the renewal of rubber production by the "Nairit" plant. The workers asked the Armenian President to accept the potential investor's offer. On August 25, the workers of the "Nairit" plant accused the Armenian authorities of looking for a reason to refuse the potential investor.

On September 29, former and current workers of the "Nairit" plant held new protest action in front of the building of the Armenian government, the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

The workers of the rubber-producing plant have demanded from the government to reactivate the chemical plant. They have also demanded that Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan should meet the potential investor to discuss the proposals for investments.
