YEREVAN. - The "Dem.Am [I am against]" movement--which is a civic
initiative that opposes the mandatory component of the new funded
pension law in Armenia--on Saturday will hold an awareness campaign in
downtown capital city Yerevan.
In this way, they will urge people to write petitions to their
employers and demand from them not to make the mandatory pension
deductions from their salaries, the movement's Facebook account
informed.
The participants in the awareness campaign will assemble outside the
Matenadaran, which is one of the world's oldest repositories of
ancient manuscripts.
President Serzh Sargsyan on Monday signed the Law on Making an
Amendment to the Law on Funded Pensions. On May 15, the National
Assembly had approved the revisions on the Law on Funded Pensions. In
line with the revisions, the funded pension deductions will become
voluntary until the government submits the new bill that will decide
the ultimate fate of the pension reform. Starting from Thursday, the
people have begun sending respective petitions to their employers.
