Member of Prosperous Armenia Party Vardan Bosyanjyan wonders why US Ambassador in Armenia John Heffern is so active in supporting the Armenian Government's compulsory accumulative pension project.
"It is funny to hear him speaking in support of a scheme that is not even applied in the United States," Bostanjyan said.
He believes that the new pension scheme will boost poverty and emigration in Armenia. "It is obvious that most of our people don't want it but the authorities are still doing all they can to push it through. All the reforms carried out by the ruling regime have one aim in view – to get into the pockets of ordinary people. All their initiatives concern payments and fines, with nothing done to reform the economy," Bostanjyan said.
