YEREVAN. – Four non-coalition parliamentary forces will issue a statement after analyzing Constitutional Court's judgment, Heritage member Tevan Poghosyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

He believes the only positive point of the process is that the sides have a common task to sit at negotiating table and try to find a solution acceptable for entire population of Armenia.

“So, we must not have a situation when 80 percent of population are dissatisfied with pension reform and 20 percent are satisfied with it. A mutually acceptable decision will be made,” he 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 aforesaid law’s provisions that were considered unconstitutional. Furthermore, all the mandatory pension deductions which already were made shall be reviewed.
