YEREVAN. – The United States support the Armenian Government as it works to implement pension reform and look forward to the action plan mandated by the Constitutional Court, US Ambassador John Heffern said in response to Armenian News-NEWS.am inquiry.

“We also support Armenian Government efforts to engage civil society groups as they express their views about this important reform process,” John Heffern said.

The Constitutional Court (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.

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