THE FIREFIGHTERS ARE SUBJECT TO LYNCHING

Social

Several employees of the Emergency Department firefighting service of Ararat and Armavir regions were gathered in front of the governmental building today. At the very moment when Albert Heroyan, governor of Armavir region, was praising the moral-psychological atmosphere in the region, the driver of one of the ED employees was shouting at those who had come to the meeting, «If you are not pleased with the wages, leave your post».

The firefighters gathered in front of the building complained that they get a salary if 13 000 drams, 400 of which is kept in the accountancy for the newspaper of the Department «Emergency Newspaper». According to them, the ED authorities had promised to raise the wages, but they did not, and on New Year's Eve they received 1300 drams as reward.

Let us remind you that 13 000 drams is the lowest salary in the country. The firefighters especially complained that their work is full of dangers and possible tragic ends, and they are not going to work risking their lives in that atmosphere of ignorance.
