People will be marching against the Mandatory Accumulative Pension
System in Armenia on 21 February.
In a relevant group on Facebook the organizers urge people to go
to streets with electric torchlights at 6:30pm Yerevan time on
21 February. The action will start from the Institute of Ancient
Manuscripts Matenadaran. The torchlights will be symbolizing the right
path for the citizens having no strict position on the pension reform.
To recall, the voluntary accumulative pension system was introduced
in Armenia on Jan 1 2011. The system became compulsory starting Jan 1
2014, which sparked public outrage. Armenian Constitutional Court's
decision of January 24 suspended some provisions of the Law on the
Accumulative Pension until the Court considers its constitutionality
on Mar 28 2014.
