MINISTER: I DID NOT KNOW THAT 80% OF POPULATION IS AGAINST PENSION REFORM
20:19 | February 19,2014 | Economy
Armenia's Minister of Economy, Vahran Avanesyan, is not concerned
about the opposition's no-confidence motion against the government.
"They have exercised their constitutional right," said the minister.
Then the minister commented on his statement that after the accession
to the Customs Union, Armenia will experience 1.4 percent rise in
prices, while Serzh Sargsyan announced recently that there will not
be any price hike.
"We already have a price rise within 5 percent in Armenia. If I am not
mistaken the president ruled out an exponential increase in prices,"
he said.
With regard to Serzh Sargsyan's statement that 80 percent of the
population is against the funded pension system, the Minister said
President Sargsyan presented the problem in detail. "I believe that
these reforms have a long path to pass, and there will be numerous
attempts to present them in a bad light. Surely, there will be
opponents but I did not know that the dissatisfied make 80 percent
of the population," said the minister.
