Rule of Law party vice-chairperson speaks of party’s further steps
In an interview with Tert.am, Vice-Chairperson of the Rule of Law party Heghine Bisharyan spoke of the party’s further steps as an opposition force.
According to her, it is “raising urgent problems, pointing to the government’s failures and proposing solutions.”
“Throughout the world, being an opposition force means raising urgent problems, pointing to the government’s failures and proposing solutions. Of course, I am not speaking of the format of involvement in political processes because these are issues of tactics, which are present-day imperatives. We are going to act as we consider right, without any hesitation. We’ll also participate in different public activities, if necessary.
With respect to the movement against funded pensions and the Constitutional Court’s relevant ruling, Ms Bisharyan said:
“We should admit the fact that the Constitutional Court issued its ruling, which changed the essence of the matter. Much earlier, both the Rule of Law party chairman and our MPs clearly stated the party’s stance on compulsory contributions. If you remember, in our election program, as well as in our speeches, we said that pensioners must receive pensions of two types – one paid by the government the other accumulated by the individual. We considered pension reforms a political necessity. However, with respect to compulsory contributions, we said there was a need for further legal guarantees. But there were no guarantees and people had grounds not to trust the government. We raised all the issues in question at our meeting with the then premier Tigran Sargsyan. I would also like to remind you that at his press conference three months ago Rule of Law party Chairman Artur Baghdasaryan said that the party saw problems behind the law on funded pensions and instructed the Rule of Law parliamentary group to draft amendments to the law. That was followed by the Constitutional Court’s ruling.
“As to our supporting the movement against funded pensions, I can say that a parliamentary political force we’ll support the sides concerned over the problem to get a law that would meet our interests.”
