YEREVAN, May 15. /ARKA/. The tragedy at Nairit plant was a trial for Armenia’s rescue services, RA President Serzh Sargsyan said.
An explosion in Armenia’s rubber producing giant Nairit plant on Thursday at around 6:00 pm local time took lives of four workers.
“The rescuers risked their lives to extinguish the fire without a delay,” the president said as he visited today the enterprise.
Sargsyan has charged relevant agencies to launch an investigation into the accident, expressing condolences to the families of the dead workers.
“Though the owner of the enterprise and state agencies are ready to recompense the losses, it will not console them,” Sargsyan was quoted saying.
The president urged other enterprises to take lessons from the tragedy and become more cautious.
A lawsuit filed against the explosion at the Yerevan-based Nairit chemical plant for violating safety rules in highly explosive areas, causing human losses, as well as for careless utilization of hazardous chemical and biological agents and toxins.
The police have launched preliminary investigation into the case.
