RA Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Mane Tandilyan spoke on his Facebook page about the compulsory component of the accumulative system.

"Again, about the accumulative, a few important things before making a formal statement about it. First of all, let me tell you that among all the problems that exist in my ministry and stand before me assure you that the accumulative is the easiest to solve for me as a politician who is against the mandatory system, wrote Tandilian.

She has attracted the attention of journalists who have confused themselves with the impression that the accumulative system has a voluntary and mandatory component, "and consider that if Armenia needs the accumulative system it does not mean to support the mandatory."

"Of course, it is possible to comment and do assumptions, but it would be nice not to blame me for that. Why then not to make clear statements that will not cause suspicions? For a very simple reason: Dear citizens, because every idea expressed by me is the position of the executive body, the government's approach, where I don't work alone. Moreover, this is not the opinion of a deputy or an active citizen who has a larger view of freedom, who, with all respect for everyone, does not have the price and the degree of influence that has a statement made by an executive member. Maybe I'm too responsible than I should be, but yes, I have a high sense of responsibility, "the minister said.

According to her, the interests of our state are prevailing for her.

"And if someone thinks that my personal interest may be superior, he is mistaken. I hope this has finally become clear. Secondly, does Armenia need the accumulative system? Yes, it does. One should have a choice: does he or she want to secure himself/herself today by his/her own means or not? The state must ensure that choice. Third, our government, regardless of who it is governed by, is also the government for about 200,000 hired workers who are currently participating in the mandatory accumulative pension (regardless of circumstances) and whose money is circulating, being under state responsibility. Fourth, some of the provisions of the current law essentially differ from the law that came into force in January 2014. Is it enough? In my opinion it is not enough, "Tandlian said in her note.

As a fifth point, the Minister noted that any possible amendment to the law should first be adopted by the Government and then by the National Assembly.
