The political majority, boycotting the National Assembly's special
session and taking an irresponsible attitude, played down once again
the role and importance of the parliament. The majority presented
everyone with a fait accompli, proving that it has no sense of
responsibility to future generations. Deputy of ARFD faction Artsvik
Minasian expressed such an opinion at a meeting with reporters today.
In his words, the activists protesting against the introduction of
the compulsory accumulative pension system showed a higher intellect
than many political figures, including the political majority. "They
not only made reasonable demands, but also put forward an idea of
efficient discussion," he noted.
Minasian said the behavior of the parliamentary majority was a bit
unexpected to them as there was solidarity during the discussion of
the draft budget on the previous day. "We thought it was a move of
solidarity in order to ensure the promised quorum today, but they
are intolerant. By that step, not only did they show that they are
not concerned about the people's future, but they don't also think
about the future of their children and grandchildren," the deputy said.
In his opinion, the introduction of the compulsory accumulative pension
system does not stem from the interests of the Armenian people and
the state and may have vicious consequences for the current and
next generations.
Let us remind you that today's special session of the Armenian
parliament on the postponement of the compulsory accumulative pension
system's introduction until 2015 didn't take place due to lack of
quorum. The session was initiated by BHK, HAK, Heritage and ARFD
factions.
The introduction of the compulsory accumulative pension system is
envisaged by the 2010 Law on Accumulative Pensions, under which a
voluntary accumulative system has been used since 2011, while the
compulsory component will be introduced in January 1, 2014.
