A mass fight between deputies took place in the Armenian parliament. It started after a speech by a member of the ruling Civil Contract party, who made harsh statements against the strong opposition Armenia. Lt. Tron Chekhoyan entered into a verbal confrontation with Narek Karaftian, joined by their comrades in arms, and then almost everyone present in the hall. To separate the deputies it was necessary to involve the Parliamentary Security Service. Ambulances arrived at the building, and the Speaker of the Parliament announced a recess.
