Seniority accumulated in Russia is not taken into account when assigning a pension in Azerbaijan, head of the Azerbaijani parliamentary committee on labor and social policy Hadi Rajabli said.
Rajabli made the remarks in Baku at the 32-nd meeting of the Advisory Council of the CIS Member-States on Labor, Employment and Social Protection of the Population, Trend reports on Oct. 14.
“Many Azerbaijanis who must transfer the funds to the State Social Insurance Fund work in Russia,” head of the committee said. “The long-term work and getting salary there do not affect their pension. It is necessary to work on these issues. Taking into account the interstate convention, the reciprocal steps on this issue should be taken. But even in this case, the Convention has not been ratified by the Russian side. ”
