A session of Armenia’s Parliament turned into physical clashes Thursday, where MPs exchanged fists, threw chairs, and turned tables. Some lawmakers remained injured, while the intervention of security forces became necessary to calm the situation.
The clash took place between the ruling party’s deputies — the Civil Convention, Prime Minister Nikola Pasinyan’s, and the opposition, the Strong Armenian — during a debate on an appointment in the Auditor’s Chamber, the institution that oversees public spending, writes Abcnews.al.
Tensions began following accusations of corruption and personal comments on the family of an opposition representative. The debate escalated rapidly into violence, while some MPs were seen striking and pushing each other. Because of injuries, a ambulance was also called into Parliament.
