Jangiryan: Constitutional Court wanted wolves to be sated and sheep intact

The Armenian parliament discussed today the government-submitted bill on amendments to the Law on Accumulative Pensions at the second reading.

Deputy of Armenian National Congress (HAK) faction Gagik Jangiryan said that a contradictory situation has emerged in Armenia following the Constitutional Court’s decision and the Court itself is to blame for it.

In his words, the Constitutional Court recognized some clauses of the Law on Accumulative Pensions as unconstitutional and null, but while declaring the compulsory accumulative pension component unconstitutional, the Constitutional Court also took a decision about a postponement of the disputed law’s execution.

“The Constitutional Court speaks about a postponement in clause 7 so the Constitutional Court itself is to blame for the current situation as it wanted the wolves to be sated and the sheep to be intact at the same time,” Jangiryan said.
