YEREVAN, September 9. /ARKA/. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced today the arrival of new garbage trucks in Yerevan.
"Another eight brand new garbage trucks have arrived in Yerevan and another 20 are expected to come very soon along with about 4,400 garbage containers. I have no doubt that the garbage collection problem in Yerevan will be solved," Pashinyan wrote in a Facebook post.
He emphasized that Yerevan Mayor Hayk Marutyan has been demonstrating brilliant management qualities.
Last week Sanitek Armenia, a branch of Sanitek International Group –a multinational waste management company headquartered in Lebanon, accused the Yerevan Municipality of failing to pay it 330 million drams. In a letter to Yerevan Mayor Hayk Marutyan the company said more than 300 million drams (about $630,000) were withheld from the amounts that were to be paid to the company in return for its services.
The company said that a new company created by the municipality collects garbage with a gross violation of the law.
For several months, residents of Yerevan have been complaining over the failure of Sanitek’s Armenian division to collect garbage throughout the city.
Earlier, Yerevan Mayor Hayk Marutyan publicly expressed displeasure at the work of the Sanitek company, stressing that Yerevan residents will no longer tolerate its ineffective work. In the spring of this year, Sanitek was twice fined for failing to fulfill its contractual obligations in the amount of 13 million drams (more than $26,800) and 26 million drams ($54,100).
Sanitek Armenia, the branch of Sanitek International Group –a multinational waste management company headquartered in Lebanon, was chosen by the Yerevan Municipality to handle sanitary cleaning and waste recycling of the capital city and until recently it was a monopolist in this business. -($1 – 476.17 drams)
