ArmInfo. The Sanitek company issued a statement in connection with yesterday's statements by the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan and the Mayor of Yerevan Hayk Marutyan, announced during broadcast live via the Armenian PM's  Facebook page.

Touching on yesterday's discussions, Sanitek said: "The company has  repeatedly sent letters to the Prime Minister, where we described the  situation and asked for a meeting, however, all our letters remained  unanswered. In fact, the Mayor's answers were enough.

If our company were invited yesterday, we would take part in these  discussions so that the prime minister and the public can hear both  sides. But consolidated slander continues, and the goal is clear.

We declare that, despite the fact that Sanitek told the whole truth  during its press conference, the company offers to meet again. We  will turn point by point to all the misinformation that was voiced  during yesterday's discussions so that the society would not be  misled, "the Sanitek company concludes.

It should be noted that yesterday during a live broadcast with the  Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan, Mayor of Yerevan Hayk  Marutyan stated that the country's authorities made a mistake by  providing only one company with a garbage collection function.  Telling the prime minister about the current situation with garbage  collection, Marutyan called one of the reasons for the failure of  Sanitek, which, in his opinion, does not own the sphere, this fact.  He also said that the information about the company having any  experience in garbage collection at the company is contradictory.  According to the mayor, Sanitek cannot work, first of all, because  the fleet is in poor condition. Moreover, Marutyan noted that after  Sanitek entered the Armenian market, the previously existing sanitary  sectors were liquidated, however trusting such a business by one  company always carries risks.  To  recall according to State Revenue  Committee (SRC)) of Armenia, Sanitek International LLC and the  Armenian branch of Sanitek LLC owed the state about 600 million  drams. At a meeting of the Council of Elders, it was also decided to  allocate 1 billion 726 million drams to resolve problems with garbage  collection. It should be noted that the problem of garbage collection  has been acute in Yerevan since last summer. Yerevan Municipality and  Sanitek cannot agree on the proper organization of waste collection,  periodically making mutual accusations. The city authorities have  repeatedly fined the company (for a total of 150 thousand dollars),  and recently, Sanitek went to court, demanding compensation in almost  the same amount.
