Members of I Am Against Initiative are staging a protest outside the Ministry of Finance against the controversial pension reform that envisages additional pension contributions by citizens aged below 40. Several hundred citizens have gathered outside the Ministry building to demand that the Ministry coordinate its decisions with the Constitution and stop pressurizing employers and making them deduct money from employees’ salaries and transfer to pension funds. Police officers have circled the area banning the protesters from approaching the building. A scuffle broke out between the police and citizens, A1+’s journalist reports from the ground. At this moment the situation is calm, with the people vociferating "Shame on you!” The group members have given Minister Davit Sargsyan 15 minutes to come down to talk to them.
