Lawyer: Artur Osipyan detained after verbal altercation with  Pashinyan

ArmInfo.Artur Osipyan, the head of the Artsakh Revolutionary Party, has been detained following a heated verbal altercation with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. Artsakh lawyer Roman Yeritsyan shared this  information  on his Facebook page.  

According to the lawyer, Osipyan's relatives contacted him to report the detention. "Osipyan's  relatives reached out to me and informed me that he has been  detained. At the moment, they do not possess information regarding  his exact location, and his phones are turned off," Yeritsyan stated.

Furthermore, the lawyer reported that Osipyan's Facebook page—where  he had recently been actively criticizing Pashinyan—has been deleted.  Yeritsyan reminded that an incident had taken place earlier today  between Pashinyan and Osipyan in Yerevan's Arabkir administrative  district. He later updated his post, noting that Osipyan is currently  being held at the Arabkir police station.  During the incident today,  Osipyan accused Pashinyan of facilitating corrupt schemes that helped  Arayik Harutyunyan get elected as President of Artsakh. Moreover, he  asserted that it was Pashinyan who effectively dissolved the OSCE  Minsk Group for the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and  claimed that the Azerbaijani authorities are now advancing an agenda  to resettle Azerbaijanis within Armenia.

These remarks infuriated Pashinyan, who began shouting: "Get out of  here, you brute! The pseudo-elites of Karabakh should just get out of  here altogether!" "You should have gone and died instead of our sons,  the Artur Osipyans! Plunderers, brutes! You should have gone and  died—why are you even alive, you animal, and yet you dare speak about  the 5,000 who perished? Get out of here, you brute! They should have  been allowed to pluck your  feathers!" Pashinyan shouted.
