Armenian pilots appeal to European Court of Human Rights

By Laman Sadigova

Former of pilots and engineers-technologists with disabilities received as a result of professional activity at the now bankrupt Armenian Airlines held a protest in front of the Government House in Armenia.

Protesters demanded reparation for the harm caused to their health during their professional activity.

No funds have been paid out since September 2006, said the protesters.

Desperate former pilots added that after the bankruptcy of the airline company, the government was obligated to pay compensations.

However, the experience shows that the corrupted Armenian government hardly remembers about its responsibilities in front of its own nation.

One of the former pilot said, "We are not asking for a charity but money allocated for us."

More than 60 employees of Armenian Airlines, which has been declared bankrupt, received a disability during their work there.

In parallel with the protests pilots appealed to the European Court of Human Rights.
