Araratcement to resume operations July 10

PanARMENIAN.Net - Araratcement will resume full-scale operations on July 10, Deputy Economy Minister Edgar Zakaryan announced during a briefing with reporters outside the factory.

According to Zakaryan, discussions focused on technical solutions that would allow the plant to continue operating without interruption.

"We were discussing technical issues and how to ensure the factory would not stop operating. Law enforcement agencies will provide answers regarding the legal proceedings. Most likely, the factory has not suffered significant losses as a result of the shutdown, because we acted in time," he said, according to Aysor.am .

Earlier in the day, Araratcement employees gathered outside the plant to stage a protest. Workers, who had been placed on forced downtime for a fourth consecutive day, said they wanted to understand what was happening around the factory and what their future would be.

Earlier, law enforcement authorities sealed the factory as part of criminal proceedings involving Prosperous Armenia Party leader Gagik Tsarukyan, resulting in the suspension of its operations.
