Fists spoke in the Armenian Parliament: Members of parliament clashed with each other

The verbal argument between the ruling and opposition MPs in the Armenian National Assembly quickly turned into a physical fight.

While the session was interrupted due to a brawl that started in front of the parliamentary rostrum, security guards intervened to separate the parties.

The incident took place during the speech made by Taron Çakhoyan, Deputy of the ruling Civil Contract Party, at the General Assembly.

After Chakhoyan used insulting statements against the opposition, a harsh argument broke out between him and Narek Karapetyan, leader of the Strong Armenia group.

As the debate escalated, opposition MPs moved towards the Parliament rostrum.

The brawl that started between the government and opposition representatives quickly turned into a physical fight. During the scuffle, a deputy fell to the ground.

The parliament administration had to adjourn the session as the events escalated.

The tension that started in the General Assembly hall continued in the Parliament corridors.

As the argument between the parties continued, security guards intervened.

In order to prevent a new fight, the officers created a security line in two rows between the ruling and opposition MPs.

A similar tension occurred between the ruling and opposition MPs in the Armenian Parliament at the beginning of October.

The incident in question took place after Edgar Ghazaryan from the Strong Armenia group accused Civil Contract Party Deputy Ruben Rubinyan of improper use of public resources.

Ghazaryan accused Rubinyan of abusing public resources over the bonuses given to MPs, and harsh arguments broke out between the two parties.
