MP COMPARED ENTHUSIASM OF COURT'S RULING ON PENSION SYSTEM WITH ARMENIA-TURKEY MATCH
06.20.2014 17:14 epress.am
With its new draft law on the funded pension system, the Armenian
government is bursting the enthusiasm society had after the
Constitutional Court's ruling, Armenian Revolutionary Federation MP
Artsvik Minasyan said in parliament today.
Under the new law, civil servants will be required to make
contributions to the funded pension system. The government believes
this will not be a heavy burden since civil servants' salaries will
be increased after July 1.
According to Minasyan,the rights of the two pension fund managers
were placed above the rights of citizens of Armenia.
"If you were present at the meetings of the Constitutional Court
and saw the enthusiasm that the Armenian society experienced,
that enthusiasm recalled the enthusiasm of the Armenian national
team's victory in the Armenia-Turkey football match," said Minasyan,
probably referring to the match between the national youth teams in
2007 in Yerevan, in which the Armenian team won 2-1.
The MP stressed the importance of the fact that the government
submitted to the National Assembly a bill with such serious resonance
without first putting it for discussion in parliamentary committees,
which is a violation of the law.
"You think [since] you're the [parliamentary] majority, you can pass
any bill, so do it. In the end, you'll have an empty Armenia," he said.
