ARMENIA'S PARLIAMENTARY MINORITY BACKS ANTI-PENSION REFORM CAMPAIGN
15:43 * 14.02.14
The non-ruling forces of Armenia's parliament have expressed support
to the civic campaign against the mandatory pension funds.
In a joint statement, lawmakers of Prosperous Armenia, Heritage,
the Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaksutyun (ARF-D) and the
Armenian National Congress express willingness to join the civic group
I am Against! in the protests against the controversial provisions
of the new pension law.
"The society's revolt against the mandatory component of the
pension system records new developments. Realizing their violated
constitutional rights and the population's decreasing real income,
entire staffs are now organizing protest actions. The recent protests
by the employees of the National Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre,
the [South Caucasus] Railways, the metro and the electric networks
are a manifestation of our citizens' resoluteness on the protection
of their own interests. It is very important for us to see members
of the initiative I am Against!standing by them, as that imparts a
new quality of civic maturity to the lawful struggle," the say.
