ARMENIA PENSION REFORM OPPOSING MOVEMENT TO AGAIN COLLABORATE WITH "PARLIAMENTARY FOUR"
June 06, 2014 | 13:40
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, will hold a rally on June 11 in Downtown
Yerevan.
The objective of this event is to express support to those oppressed
employees who are not permitted to write petitions so that funded
pension cuts are not made from their salaries, initiative member
Davit Manukyan told reporters on Friday.
"We are continuing our fight. On June 11, we will assemble near
the Matenadaran [which is one of the world's oldest repositories
of ancient manuscripts], from where a march may take place, too,"
Manukyan stated, in particular.
He added that "Dem.Am" will begin to again collaborate with the four
non-ruling National Assembly (NA) factions (Armenian National Congress,
Prosperous Armenia, ARF Dashnaktsutyun, and Heritage).
In Manukyan's words, they are going to petition the non-ruling
parliamentary forces, so that they call a special NA session and
propose to enact a law which will have nothing to do with the
interim law.
Pursuant to the new funded pension bill, which is in force in Armenia
until September 30, those employees who do not wish to participate in
the funded pension plan must submit to their employers petitions with
a request for not making funded pension deductions from their salaries.
