Armenia’s first Ombudsman Larissa Alaverdyan believes that all
employers who make deductions from wages to transfer to the mandatory
funded pension system are subjected to pressure.

“I can cite a vivid example. Serzh Sargsyan spoke positively about
the pension reform before its enactment. This was surely an example
of pressure,” Larissa Alaverdyan said in an interview with A1+.

She does not pin great hopes on the Constitutional Court which is
scheduled to open hearings on the appeal against the pension reform
on March 28.

“This is a real ordeal, an examination for the Constitutional Court and
judges which they should pass with dignity,” said the first ombudsman.
