In fact, the Constitutional Court (CC) has decided that even though the mandatory funded component is unconstitutional, it should continue to function as constitutional. 

Opposition Armenian National Congress bloc MP Nikol Pashinyan wrote the aforementioned in his Facebook account, commenting on the CC ruling on Wednesday.

“Thus, we can summarize the results of the activities by the Constitutional Court of Armenia: Unconstitutional ‘presidents,’ unconstitutional parliaments, [and] unconstitutional intergovernmental agreements. 

“And, now, an unconstitutional law which, pursuant to the CC decision, we will pretend that it is constitutional.   
“A worthy step to the disgraceful image of the Constitutional Court of Armenia,” Pashinyan specifically wrote.
The CC on Wednesday deemed unconstitutional a whole series of articles in the new Law On Funded Pensions, which were contested with a lawsuit by the four non-ruling-coalition parliamentary factions. Specifically, the mandatory component of this law was invalidated.

The CC gave the parliament and the government until September 30 to amend the aforesaid law’s provisions that were considered unconstitutional. In addition, all the mandatory pension deductions which already were made shall be reviewed.   

Constitutional Court Judge Feliks Tokhyan, however, stated the following in this respect: “The law on funded pensions will be in effect until September 30, and the citizens are required to continue to pay the mandatory pension payments.”
