Zhoghovurd: Payment of pensions delayed again
Although Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan publicly apologized for the delay in pension payment in August, the shortcomings in the pension distribution system have not been eliminated yet, ‘Zhoghovurd’ says.
According to the paper, long queues of pensioners were seen yesterday in numerous post offices of Haypost CJSC. Emma Khnkoyan, 74, called the editorial office, saying that one woman standing in the queue to get her pension had hypertension symptoms and the blood sugar level of another woman rose. “These people should be pitied,” E. Khnkoyan said.
