"Hraparak" newspaper writes:
"According to our information, Pashinyan intends to appoint Deputy Minister of Economy Edgar Zakaryan as the temporary manager of the "Araratcement" factory owned by Gagik Tsarukyan, who officially coordinates the sector and expressed his loyalty to Pashinyan yesterday during the meeting with the workers protesting in front of the factory. "Nikol Pashinyan is my leader, what he says is true."
After the cabinet session, Pashinyan addressed the employees of "Araratcement" in a briefing and urged them not to take action so that they would not be fired later, essentially threatening to fire them if they protested. He also said that "Araratcement" will soon be state-owned.
Romanos Petrosyan, the interim manager of the HEC owned by Samvel Karapetyan, receives a salary of about 6 million drams, Deputy Minister Zakaryan probably has a similar appetite, and that's why he openly flatters Pashinyan.
