    PRESIDENT'S SPEECH PRESSURE ON CONSTITUTIONAL COURT - STATEMENT

    19:12 * 17.02.14

    The movement against funded pensions has responded to Armenian
    President Serzh Sargsyan's statement on the law on funded pensions
    at the congress of the Yerkrapah union of volunteers, February 15.

    According to the movement, the president's speech is obvious pressure
    on the Constitutional Court.

    "The fact that, according to the president, the law under the
    Constitutional Court's consideration only contains some unhappy
    wordings and changing the wordings will not change the meaning is,
    we believe, disrespect for the Constitutional Court and obvious
    pressure on the highest court," the movement's statement says.

    Changes are never made in democratic countries, especially under
    the guise of reforms, when 80% of the population object to them. The
    Armenian president's statement clearly showed that Armenia is not a
    democratic state.

    "Armenia's government and president are, to put it mildly, disregarding
    the opinion of the greater part of the people and enforcing the
    decisions by the narrow circles. They forget that power belongs to the
    people in Armenia. We are calling on the Constitutional Court not to
    give in to pressure and remain committed to its mission by issuing a
    definitive ruling that would actually reflect popular will and force
    the government to respect the Constitution," says the statement.
