ArmInfo. The Armenian authorities, through provocations, are trying to divert public attention from the situation on the borders of the country. A similar point of view is shared by MP from the opposition "I have the honor" faction Hayk Mamijanyan, commenting on the incident in the National Assembly, during which two parliamentarians fought - from the opposition "Armenia" faction and from the ruling "Civil Contract" faction - Mher Sahakyan and Vladimir Vardanyan.
According to Mamijanyan, immediately after the incident, he contacted the leaders of the "Armenia" faction - Seyran Ohanyan and Artsvik Minasyan. <Let's fix one circumstance: yesterday, for the umpteenth time, there was an invasion of the sovereign territory of Armenia by the armed forces of Azerbaijan. In response, a frivolous statement was made by the National Security Service. If the security forces, with the same readiness and fanaticism with which they defend the representatives of the ruling "Civil Contract " party, defended the sovereign territory of Armenia, the country would not be in a similar situation," the MP noted, linking the incident in parliament with what is happening on borders of the country to divert public attention.
As Mamijanyan noted, referring to his own information, Chairman of the Standing Committee on State and Legal Affairs of the National Assembly,Vladimir Vardanyan, spoke loudly and disrespectfully about Mher Sahakyan and other opposition MPs, in response to which the latter called for restraint.
<Conflicts happen in all the parliaments of the world, but it is necessary to draw parallels with what happened there and what we have. When the MP from the ruling "Civil Contract" faction Vahagn Aleksanyan attacked the opposition MPs, I don't remember for some reason that the Police, in the style of a staged show, kicked him out of the parliament and detained him, as they did in relation to Mher Sahakyan, who is in the department police of the Arabkir district>, said Mamijanyan. He wondered if the law enforcement officers resorted to this method in relation to Sahakyan, why they did not do the same in relation to Aleksanyan.
It should be noted that according to reports, the incident occurred during closed discussions in the commission on state and legal issues on the agreement on the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
