No quorum again; special session does not take place
Citizens holding a rally against the law on accumulative pension system outside the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) office announced that Republican MPs have time until 15:00 to participate in the special session of parliament convened for the discussion of the postponement for a year of the introduction of compulsory accumulative pension system.
However, there was no quorum again at 15:00 and the session did not take place.
The Law on the Accumulative Pension System enters into force on January 1, 2014. The law stipulates that Armenian citizens born after 1974 must transfer from 6.6% to 13% of their wages to the pension fund.
