First Armenian President Levon Ter-Petrosyan (1991-1998) has been
granted a lifetime presidential pension, as stated by David Arutyunyan,
the head of the government's office, presenting amendments to the law
on rewards, service for the president and security at a governmental
session today, ARKA reports.
Ter-Petrosyan will also be allowed to use his office for as long as
needed. His pension will total 80% of the incumbent president's salary.
The first president of Armenia marked his 70th birthday on January 9.
It appeared that the law was not allowing the ex-president to keep
the office after becoming 70 years old.
Ter-Petrosyan was succeeded by Robert Kocharyan in 1998-2008. Serzh
Sargsyan has been the president since 2008.
