About 60 employees of Armenia’s National Assembly organized a signature campaign against the introduction of the compulsory accumulative pension system on Saturday, thus joining ‘I am against’ civil initiative.

One of them told Panorama.am that they were taken aback to find that their salaries for January were cut, while they hoped that the latest decision of the Constitutional Court had changed the situation.

On January 24, the Constitutional Court of Armenia made a decision to suspend the implementation of the Law on Compulsory Accumulative Pension System until the issue of its compliance with the Constitution has been considered by the Court. The Constitutional Court decided to suspend the implementation of Article 76 and Article 86 part 3 of the Law on Accumulative Pensions until the legal proceedings on compliance with the Constitution of Articles 5, 7, 8, 37, 38, 45, 49 and 86 of the Law on Accumulative Pensions are completed.
