YEREVAN. – Pension payments for deceased pensioners and for those outside Armenia will be excluded, Minister of Labor and Social Affairs, Arthur Grigoryan, said on Tuesday.   

As per the Minister, this will now be possible thanks to the online pension system, which will start in June 2012. In line with this system, if a pensioner dies, his/her relative records will be sent to the pension system’s database.  

And if a pensioner leaves Armenia, the border checkpoints will send this information likewise to the united database. But Arthur Grigoryan added that the given pensioner will not be deprived of the pension, but he/she will receive it only when returning to Armenia.
