Zohrabyan denied rumors related to the rally to be held by the 4
not-ruling parliamentary factions on January 18 in order to demand
to stop the entry of mandatory savings element of pension funds
into force.
The idea to participate in the rally belongs to the "I am against the
Mandatory Accumulation Pension System" Initiative, Naira Zohrabyan
told Mediamax.am.
"The deputies of the 4 not-ruling parliamentary factions - PAP,
ARF, ANC and Heritage - will simply take part in the rally. It's not
right to introduce the rally as jointly organized by the 4 factions",
the PAP Secretary said.
Naira Zohrabyan, however, didn't rule out that PAP supporters might
participate in the rally expressing their disagreement with the issue.
The mandatory savings element of pension funds came into force in
Armenia on January 1.
According to it, all employed citizens aged 16 to 40, born in and
after January 1, 1974, will receive mandatory accumulation pension
upon reaching their retirement age by making 5% monthly savings on
their pension account. People receiving salaries up to AMD 500,000
will have to pay additional 5% set by the state. According to the law,
the amount of mandatory savings should make up the 10% of the salary.
