YEREVAN. – Public opinion must be taken into account, while introducing any mechanisms. This was not done during introduction of a mandatory pension plan, MP from ARF Dashnaktsutyun Artsvik Minasyan said during the hearings in Constitutional Court (CC) on Friday.
“We consider the mandatory element and the amount of deductions is unacceptable,” he said.
CC commenced, on Friday morning, the hearings on the lawsuit, pursuant to which several provisions in the controversial Law On Funded Pensions—in particular, its mandatory component—are contested.
