The now defunct Armavia Armenian airline carrier owned by businessman Mikhail Baghdasarov has begun the process of paying the overdue wages of its former employees; however, receiving their wages are only those employees who didn't sue the company. This news was conveyed to local daily Zhoghovurd by former employees of the company.
"Not everyone has received their wages. There are people whose final payment [owing] has not been calculated. None of the pilots have received [their overdue wages] — only the flight attendants and engineers," said the paper's source.
The newspaper attempted to find out from the company's financial director, Hrayr Sahakyan, at whose expense former employees' salaries were paid. "Those wages were paid through the company's owner's funds. As for the others, I don't know when and how much they'll get paid," he said.
