Armenian MP of ruling party speaks of `lack of constructivity’
13:52 – 12.01.14
Four parliamentary groups plan to hold a protest at funded pensions on
January 18.
Armenia’s authorities have a clear opinion of that, without being
particularly concerned over the unification of non-coalition forces.
Hovhannes Sahakyan, a Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) parliamentary
group member, does not think the ruling party, RPA, is concerned over
the non-coalition forces’ combined efforts.
`I think we lack constructivism now. And the fact of the political
forces joining their efforts can be welcomed,’ he told Tert.am.
According to the MP, Armenia is a state of law, and the authorities
are building up a rule-of-law state and have proved that any actions
within law are acceptable regardless of whether they are organized by
opposition forces civil activists or pro-government forces.
`Each person has his or her own opinion, and they can express their
opinions within law. I do not see any problem,’ Sahakyan said.
Late in 2013, the government’s statement on the introduction of a
funded pensions system in Armenia, caused public discontent. The
initiative against funded pensions has since held a number of
protests.
