YEREVAN. - Reoperation of Armenia's nuclear power pant, which
is currently undergoing planned repairs, is in jeopardy, Haykakan
Zhamanak daily writes. "158 members of the plant's engineering and
technical staff submitted resignations on Tuesday."
"Those who submitted resignations are primarily those specialists
without whom it is impossible to operate the nuclear power plant.
Those employees demand that their salaries be reviewed. Still 1 month
ago they had submitted a petition to [Armenian President] Serzh
Sargsyan, Energy and Natural Resources Minister Armen Movsisyan,
and the plant's management, and asked their salaries be raised. The
plant's employees had informed Armenia's leadership that, after the
recent rise in prices and with salaries of 120,000 drams ($318 US)
or 150,000 ($398) drams, they cannot solve their families' social
problems, and warned that if this issue is not resolved by September
20, they would be compelled to submit resignations, which they did,"
Haykakan Zhamanak writes.
