    11 THOUSAND PENSIONERS REMOVED

    In the result of last year's pension reform, 11 thousand people were
    withdrawn from the pension lists, said the minister of labor and
    social issues Arthur Grigoryan.

    According to the minister, in the result of the reform, the number
    of pensioners is down from 520 thousand to 509 thousand. Dead and
    emigrated people have been removed from the lists. More than AMD 10
    billion returned from the pension system last year.

    The minister avoided the question as to how much money officials
    pocketed due to the exaggerated number of pensioners. He noted
    that criminal proceedings have been launched which will give all
    the answers.

    The head of the Social Security Service Vazgen Khachikyan was sacked
    at the beginning of last year due to the scandalous revelation by
    the Control Chamber. It was revealed that dead pensioners continued
    to receive pensions for years. Several other officials have been
    dismissed but no criminal proceedings have been launched.
