Person dies at Akhtala mine
A person died as a result of an accident that took place at the ore mining factory in Akhtala.
Former Head of the Guard Service of the Ore Mining Factory in Akhtala Ivan Jaghinyan told "A1+" that 22-year old Garik Aghtchyan, who was in a truck during the shaking of the ore, tried to fix the problem, stuck his head out, and at that point, the rock struck him to the wall. The Director for Foreign Relations of the ore mining factory confirmed the news.
According to Director for Foreign Relations of the ore mining factory Mr. Shahnazaryan, the case was a result of the violation of security rules.
He mentioned that employees of the Technical Security Center would visit the site on Monday and would give a concrete clarification after examination. Garik Aghtchyan moved to Akhtala nearly two months ago from Spitak city to settle and work in Akhtala.
We remind that recently "A1+" received a letter signed by Ivan Jaghinyan and Arkadi Arushanyan in which it was particularly stated: "We, a group of employees of the ore mining factory in Akhtala, on 20 February sent an open letter to the RA President, presenting the intolerable working, social, labor security and nature protection issues of the employees and issues related to the bad situation at the structures belonging to the ore mining factory of Akhtala in the Akhtala and Shamlugh cities."
