News - Cleaning staff dispute at Shenaghavit results in a warning for the department head.

In a tense exchange at the Shenaghavit municipal department, head Sargsis Sargsyan was issued an oral warning following a confrontation with a cleaning staff member, Aida Mkhitaryan. The incident, which took place during a routine work-related discussion, escalated when Mkhitaryan used offensive language towards her superiors. Tigran Gabrielyan, the head of the Shenaghavit district, was quick to defend the decision, stating that Mkhitaryan had been reported for her inappropriate behavior by both colleagues and local residents. Despite these accusations, Mkhitaryan asserted that she had been treated unfairly by superiors and raised concerns about discrepancies in her compensation and work conditions. Further complicating the situation, Gabrielyan pointed out that there were several incidents where Mkhitaryan allegedly consumed alcohol during work hours and made threats against local authorities. The community remains divided, with some siding with Mkhitaryan, urging for an investigation into workplace conditions, while others back the municipal decision for stricter enforcement of conduct policies. The incident has ignited a broader discussion on workplace relations and has prompted the district office to consider revising its conflict resolution strategies.
