As the NA opened today, MPs engaged in “bottle fight.” Hayk Sargsyan was speaking from the NA floor, bringing counter-arguments to the criticism of the opposition. He said: “No former head of the Ministry of Defense, during whose time people were released from the army by money or a phone call, has a right to speak. They are traitors of the homeland, it is about all times.”
At that point, the leader of the Armenia bloc, Seyran Ohanyan, threw a bottle at Hayk Sargsyan.
“I am not talking about you,” he said to Ohanyan and threw the bottle back at him. Another bottle was thrown in his direction by the opposition members. Sargsyan took out a bottle under the podium and threw it back.
As the incident was unfolding, NA Speaker Alen Simonyan inviting security officers in. A break was announced and the live broadcast was interrupted.
