Higher pensions sufficient for as much as lower pensions in 2028 -  Our Way 

ArmInfo. Taking into account inflation over the past eight years, the pension supplement will be enough to purchase the same amount of goods as in 2018. Ashot Markosyan, a member of the "Our Way" movement, stated this in a video address.

According to him, the authorities previously claimed that pensioners  didn't know how to spend 10,000 drams, but elections are coming up,  and it turns out they know exactly how. "We've decided to increase  pensions by an average of 8,000 drams starting April 1st. Dear  pensioners, since 2018, prices have risen so much that even if we  refer to official inflation statistics, your pensions are practically  at the same level as they were in 2018. That is, you can buy the same  amount of goods with your pension as you did eight years ago," said  the movement's representative, calling on the country's authorities  not to portray the situation as doing people a favor. "You're only  paying for the price difference," noted Ashot Markosyan.

As a reminder, RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan previously announced  a 10,000 drams pension increase starting April 1st. This decision was  perceived by many as a pre-election ploy, as elections to the  National Assembly are in three months. This is especially true since  government officials had previously claimed that the 10,000 drams  pension increase would not solve anything.
