YEREVAN. – Armenian society does not have sufficient information about changes in pension law, chairman of parliament’s committee on legal affairs Davit Harutyunyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

Harutyunyan, who is a member of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia, said Armenian society was not sufficiently informed about legal norms of the documents on cumulative pension reform, and many of the documents were adopted several days before they came into force. This does not ensure principles of legitimate expectations as well as clearness and stability of legal regulations.

“I think the conclusions of the Constitutional Court are right and reasonable,” he said.

The MPs of four parliamentary groups – Prosperous Armenia, ARF, ANC and Heritage – petitioned to the Constitutional Court (CC) to recognize provisions of the pension law unconstitutional.

The CC on Friday decided to suspend the execution of the some components of the Law on Cumulative Pensions pending the end of hearing of the petition into the constitutionality of the several articles of the law.
