Bright Armenia party MP comments on PM’s speech in parliament following brawl

The message in the speech of the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan was as follows: anyone who will henceforth speak can be beaten, said opposition Bright Armenia party MP Ani Samsonyan.

The situation in the Armenian parliament heated up during the speech of Edmon Marukyan, chair of the opposition Bright Armenia party, and the fists were raised.

The fight occurred between him and My Step ruling bloc MP Sasun Mikaelyan.

Later, the Bright Armenia party left the session in protest. Marukyan noted that both they and the My Step MPs are responsible for the current incident.

Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan, in turn, noted that what happened in parliament is their biggest defeat since the revolution. He noted that all this is connected with the law on the confiscation of illegal property and various criminal cases.
