He said they discussed the mandatory pension system, but he promised to provide details only after the new government was formed.&nbsp;<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tReporters remarked that, in fact, the PM won&#39;t be keeping his promise to suspend pension deductions from employees&#39; salaries, since the new plan <a href=\"http:\/\/www.epress.am\/en\/2014\/04\/25\/pension-reform-remains-unclear-after-parliamentary-committee-discussion.html\"><span style=\"color:#0000CD;\"><strong>presented<\/strong><\/span><\/a> by Acting RA Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Artem Asatryan doesn&#39;t provide for this. Abrahamyan replied that he is always true to his word.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRecall, the four aforementioned political parties today met once again at the National Assembly. The meeting took place in Tsarukyan&#39;s office. Entering the room at the start of the meeting was newly appointed PM Hovik Abrahamyan, accompanied by Chief of RA Government Staff David Harutyunyan and Acting RA Minister of Territorial Administration Armen Gevorgyan.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThis visit came as a surprise to meeting participants. Head of the Armenian National Congress parliamentary faction Levon Zurabyan asked whether Abrahamyan had come to be informed of their plans, to which the PM responded that he&#39;s come to impart certain information.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Armenian Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan, leaving Prosperous Armenia Party leader Gagik Tsarukyan&#8217;s office earlier today, declined to comment on&#8230;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":252092,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tstyn_error":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252622"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=252622"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252622\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/252092"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=252622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=252622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=252622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
