Two of the five changes to the law on compulsory accumulative pension system suggested by four parliamentary opposition forces (Armenian National Congress, Heritage Party, ARFD and Prosperous Armenia) are acceptable to the Government, Armenia's Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan told journalists before today's meeting of the Executive Body of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia.
Abrahamyan did not specify which of the proposals are acceptable. He just said that employers will not have to pay the compulsory pension contribution until the law is amended.
A group of Armenians from France asked Abrahamyan about business climate in Armenia. He said that he will do all he can to create best possible conditions for Diaspora businessmen in their historical homeland.
Abtahamyan pointed out that Armenia successfully cooperates with both the EU and the Customs Union.
As regards his Cabinet, the Premier said that he will choose his ministers according to their professional qualities. "If anyone of them fails to do his work well, he or she will be fired," Abrahamyan said.
Today the Executive Body of the Republican Party is to consider the candidatures for the speaker of the parliament and ministers. The most probable candidate for the speaker according to rumors is the head of the RPA's parliamentary group Galust Sahakyan.
