The delegation headed by Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan paid a working
visit to Vanadzor. The Prime Minister visited "Chimprom" factory,
where only 480 out of 830 employees are working today. This was the
main complaint of the residents of Vanadzor. They said Vanadzor was
the first to feel the financial-economic crisis. Director of the plant
informed the Prime Minister that at this point the factory needs $4
mln to function normally and produce fertilizers.
Answers to this and other questions were given during a closed-door
consultation. Later PM Tigran Sargsyan walked about the production
units of the factory. He told reporters that during the consultation
reference was made to issues of increasing the producing capacity of
the plant and the volume of production of fertilizers.
The Prime Minister informed that the plant will start producing
fertilizers from today on, and will start working at full capacity by
2010, as a result of which Armenia will not have to import fertilizers.
