ArmInfo. The Armenian Ombudsman in his annual report for 2018 addressed the problems in the pension system at both the practical and legislative levels.
As the press service of the Human Rights Defender informs, in particular, the following shortcomings are noted in the annual report: "Some people are denied receiving preferential pensions, arguing that their working experience is not enough or their work activity is not included in the relevant legal act of heavy, harmful jobs, specialties, positions ", emphasized in the report.
The defender of human rights, having studied the above problems, suggested options for their solution. In particular, in case of establishing preferential pensions, Tatoyan proposes to be guided not only by specialties and positions included in the lists, but also take into account the essence of each specialty and position that gives the right to preferential pensions, and constantly improve the established list on the basis of each case.
