October 22, 2011 – 12:51 AMT

PanARMENIAN.Net – Armenian Nuclear Power Plant CEO Gagik Markosyan
released the plant’s staff, one of the employees told a
PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

On September 20, 160 members of NPP engineering staff submitted
letters of resignation, demanding pay increase.

Mass staff dismissal may challenge the re-launch of NPP after the
renovation works to be completed Oct 27.

As Gagik Markosyan said in reply to employee’s demands, `I’d prefer to
hire a new staff rather than increase pays.’
