ArmInfo. Head of the Bright Armenia parliamentary faction Edmon Marukyan was invited to the Special Investigation Service to clarify the incident on May 8 in parliament.
As Marukyan himself said, he should visist the SIS on May 13 at 4:00 pm.
To recall, on May 8 the work of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia was temporarily interrupted due to the conflict that arose between head of the Bright Armenia faction Edmon Marukyan and MP from the My Step faction Sasun Mikayelyan. Other MPs of the Armenian parliament were also involved in the assault. Clarification of relations with the participation of parliamentarians continued during the announced break, after which the conflicting parties finally dispersed.
On the same day, commenting on the incident, Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan called the incident a provocation and stated that he had reason to believe that Edmon Marukyan and his faction were part of a specific plan to render moral, psychological and physical violence against the ruling force. According to him, for two years now, the ruling political force, including the My Step parliamentary faction, has been constantly attacked, and women MPs from the ruling bloc have been threatened on social networks. The purpose of this, as Pashinyan noted, is to undermine the confidence that has developed between the country's authorities and the people. At the same time, according to him, this pressure began with the adoption of the law "On Confiscation of Illegally Acquired Property", and behind these provocative actions are forces serving the former authorities.
To note, the Special Investigation Service is investigating this incident.
