NO PENSIONS WITHOUT SOCIAL CARDS
No Amendments to the Law Expected
At present, the issue of the social cards is a big problem for the
pensioners. As if they have no social card they can’t get their pensions.
Yesterday, Manouk Gasparian, deputy of RA National Assembly, put forward the
issue of the social cards. He received numerous complaints from the
pensioners that can’t get their pensions without having social cards. Some
of these people are not going to get social cards, they prefer begging to
having the social cards. Andranik Margarian, RA Prime Minister, confirmed
that no pensioner can get pension without having a social card, as this
violates the law. “We are not going to make amendments to the law and
violate the steps of the millions of people that received social cards,
obeying the law,” he said.
It’s worth mentioning that millions of people were forced to make that
voluntary step.
