The workers at the Ministry of Culture went on strike beginning in the early morning hours of December 21st. They are against the optimization of the ministry.
“We want our complaints to be heard and for the correct decision to be made through this strike. The structure of the government will be formed correctly if the people who are in charge of this plan say that there will be no cuts through optimization. Unfortunately, many serious professionals will be left out through this optimization. There will be a higher level of unemployment, as well as a higher level of social issues,” the deputy head of the Ministry of Culture Department of Management Harutyun Martirosyan told reporters.
According to him, many cultural figures have also joined the strike.
