    CAPITAL CLEAN-UP: FOREIGN GARBAGE-REMOVAL OPERATOR STARTS WORK IN YEREVAN

    A Lebanese company that had won a tender announced by the Yerevan
    municipality began to operate in the Armenian capital this month.

    Mayor Taron Margaryan inspected the garbage-removal equipment
    of Sanitek s.a.r.l. displaced in the city's Shahumyan Square on
    December 1.

    Two companies had been chosen to provide services in Yerevan in a
    2012 tender in which companies specializing in garbage removal and
    sanitary cleaning from eight countries were participating.

    The Lebanese company will be responsible for providing the services
    in Yerevan's western administrative districts (Achapnyak, Davtashen,
    Kentron, Malatia-Sebastia, Shengavit), while a consortium of the
    Armenian-Swedish companies, Ecogroup and LL Milioconsult, will provide
    the services in the eastern sector (the administrative districts of
    Arabkir, Avan, Erebuni, Kanaker-Zeytun, Nor-Nork and Nubarashen).

    "Organization of garbage removal is a serious problem for every
    large city and Yerevan is no exception," Mayor Taron Margaryan said,
    as quoted by the Municipality press service. He added that the
    two companies entrusted with the service in Yerevan have a 10-year
    contract.

    "The process has started only in the administrative district of
    Kentron. After the transitional stage is over and the company's work
    takes its normal course, the process will be organized also in the
    rest of the administrative districts. Thus, we can say that already
    today services corresponding to international standards gradually
    start to be provided in Yerevan," Margaryan said.

    According to a Sanitek s.a.r.l. representative, the company has so
    far invested about 10 million Euros (about $12.5 million) in the
    enterprise in Armenia. It currently has 150 workers, but plans to
    increase the staff to 300, with the minimal wages set at $500.

    To a reporter's question about whether citizens will have to pay
    more for the higher quality of the service, Mayor Margaryan said:
    "In 2015, the price for garbage collection will not change, as we
    plan to offer the quality service at the same price due to raising
    the efficiency of work and by way of consolidation of organizations."
