session of parliament
April 19, 2014 | 13:20
YEREVAN. ` Representatives of `I am against' (Dem em) civil initiative
will work with four parliamentary parties to introduce amendments to
Armenia's new law on pensions, activists said during a press
conference on Saturday.
`We will not cooperate, but work on amending the law,' Arsen Manukyan said.
Four parliamentary forces ` Prosperous Armenia, ARF Dashnaktsutyun,
Armenian National Congress and Heritage ` said they would convene a
special session of the parliament to debate pension law.
However, taking to Armenian News-NEWS.am, member of `I am against'
movement Gevorg Gorgisyan said there is no need to hold a special
session.
`There is a week left. I do not think a special session will be held
as on April 28 PM Hovik Abrahamyan will submit a bill on pensions to
the parliament,' Gorgisyan said.
On April 2, the Constitutional Court (CC) of Armenia declared
unconstitutional a whole series of articles in the new Law on Funded
Pensions. Despite this ruling, however, the state-run financial
institutions still oblige the employers to make mandatory funded
pension cuts from the salaries of their employees. The respective
reasoning is that the CC gave the parliament and the government until
September 30 to amend the aforesaid law's provisions that were deemed
unconstitutional.
