Citizen Samvel Vardanyan detained on suspicion of hooliganism after  altercation with MP from  ruling faction

ArmInfo. Citizen Samvel Vardanyan was detained on suspicion of hooliganism after an altercation with MP from the ruling Civil Contract faction, Hakob Aslanyan. This became known from the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Armenia.  It should be noted that the video footage of the incident on one of the city buses was spread on the Internet this afternoon. 

In the video, it can be seen that a citizen sitting on the bus,  recognizing Aslanyan, known for his odious statements, threw  "Anti-Armenian scoundrel" in his face.

These words aroused the anger of the MP, who rudely demanded to give  him the way, and then attacked the young man with his fists and  knocked the phone out of his hands.

Later it became known that in connection with this incident, Samvel  Vardanyan was detained.  As human rights activist Ruben Melikyan  wrote, Samvel Vardanyan is in the Investigative Committee.  "Samvel  Vardanyan is in the Investigative Committee, I am going there to  represent his interests," he wrote.

Speaker of the Armenian Parliament Alen Simonyan, reacting to what  happened, in particular, wrote:  "Today, one nonentity allowed  himself to commit a hooligan act against the 69-year-old MP  of the  National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia Hakob Aslanyan, who, by  the way, is a participant in three wars. This hooligan act will very  quickly receive the strictest reaction from the law, let no one doubt  it."
