Activists of I am Against!, the civic group protesting against
the pension reforms, conducted on Thursday an awareness campaign
outside the Yerevan State Engineering University to inform students
of theirenlightenment march scheduled for tomorrow.
A large crowd of students joined the rally, raising their voice of
protest against the funded pensions.
The amended pension law, which went into effect on January 1, requires
that all the employed citizens of Armenia born after 1973 pay 5%-10%
salary taxes to the pension funds to secure their future retirement
benefits. The measure met strong protests by the society, with many
expressing distrust in the system. On January 24, the Constitutional
Court issued a ruling to temporarily suspend the mandatory component
of the law.
The group made calls for an active campaign for their protection of
the youth's rights.
As the rally continued, the university's rector, Ara Avetyan, joined
the crowd, asking the students and the professors outside to return
to the classrooms.
