Yesterday, it became known that human rights groups in several countries issued a statement on the lawsuit filed against the former employees of the Zangezur Copper and Molybdenum Combine. It should be reminded that the ZCMC has filed a lawsuit against the people of strikes at the beginning of the year, demanding compensation of about 5 billion drams. The justification is as follows: disruption of the plant's work, illegal blocking of domestic infrastructure, etc.
Touching upon the statement of the mentioned human rights organizations, Arayik Margaryan, head of the ZCMC Press and Society Department, told the "fact". "First of all, this statement must give rise to suspicions and assumptions to the Armenian society. Although it is very natural for me. Let me explain why. Don't you consider it strange that there are some strange NGOs from African and Asian Copper and Molybdenum Combine in Armenia? See, 25 non-governmental organizations who have left all the care of the world, mostly people who often work for natural products, make a huge announcement about the work of about 8 employees who wages about $ 1,000 in Armenia. "
According to Margaryan, Uganda, Congo, being concerned about the organizations operating in Kenya, the labor rights of Kajants' workers may not have doubts, even when you do not know facts.
"And the facts are more worrying. You know that the Azerbaijani Environmental Protection FIRST environmental coalition, which is the main target of Armenia, is spreading one statement in the world, accusing Armenia as a supporter of 40 non-supporters. Moreover, non-governmental organizations from Uganda and Congo have also announced their support for the support of this Azerbaijani initiative. Now the NGOs from the same countries have been protected by the interests of the Kajaran staff, "said the Head of the ZCMC Press and Society.
Summing up, our interlocutor notes. "Besides, I do not think that the rights of employees in Armenia are in the position that the path to Indonesia or Uganda should pay attention. I even consider it offensive. I am sorry that there are this statement in Armenia and people who are serious about those organizations. It would be good for those organizations to prove their objectivity not to release its employees in Armenia, but in connection with the closure of the International Red Cross in Azerbaijan, and the rough violations of human rights, persecution and arrests in Azerbaijan. I am sure that we will not see such a statement, and just because I do not rule out, some of them are financed by Baku, and, of course, they cannot criticize their sponsor. "
