    ARTSVIK MINASIAN CALLS ON CC MEMBERS TO CONSIDER PUBLIC DISCONTENT

    Monday,
    March
    31

    Representative of the ARF-Dashnaktsutyun Party Artsvik Minasian
    presented his closing arguments at the hearing of the Constitutional
    Court of Armenia (CC) today. He said that the authorities constantly
    speak about demographic problems and measures to encourage a high
    birth rate.

    In this context the ARFD faction deputy discussed the demographic
    risks related to the introduction of the compulsory accumulative
    pension system in the country.

    "We tell a citizen that he will have an opportunity to get the
    accumulated sum if he gives up his citizenship. We tell a mother she
    will not receive a child care allowance in case of having a baby. This
    creates serious problems," Minasian noted.

    "As regards international experience, the defendant did not refute the
    claim that there is no country whose model was introduced in Armenia.

    In reality there is no such country - for the simple reason that no
    model with such risks was introduced in any country," he stated.

    According to Artsvik Minasian, the system in its current form
    contradicts many provisions of the Constitution of Armenia.

    He called upon the Constitutional Court (CC) members to consider the
    public's discontent and recognize the provision about the use of the
    compulsory accumulative pension component as unconstitutional.

    Following the closing arguments, the CC members will go into the
    consultation room to reach a verdict. The Constitutional Court is
    expected to announce its verdict tomorrow, on April 1.
