Armenia's Constitutional Court has rejected the motion by ARFD MP
Artsvik Minasyan against articles 8, 14, 37 and 38 of the law on
accumulative pensions. By doing this the Court left unchanged its
Jan 24 decision.
Minasyan's motion said that even though the Constitutional Court
suspended article 76 of the law and freed from responsibility those
who will not pay compulsory pension contributions till the Court's
final decision on the law, the State Revenue Committee still obliges
governmental agencies and some other employers to retain the necessary
sum for the wages of their employees.
To note, people are displeased not only with the law on compulsory
accumulative pension system but also with the absurd situation that
followed the Constitutional Court's decision to suspend some of its
articles: even though on Jan 24 the Court decided to suspend article
76 and to free from responsibility those who will not pay compulsory
pension contributions until the Court makes a final decision on the
law on Mar 28, the Finance Ministry has still suggested retaining
the new contributions.
