Row in Armenia`s parliament during vice-premier`s speech

ArmInfo.  There is another scandal in the National Assembly of Armenia, it followed during the speech of the NA Vice Speaker Hakob Arashakyan, who accused the  opposition representatives of all mortal sins. Arshakyan noted that there are many different rumors and conversations among the people,  to which the authorities do not react. In particular, people say a  lot that the father of the second President of the Republic of  Armenia Robert Kocharyan was an ethnic Turk. 

"But we don't talk about that. They say that he and his entourage  have done nothing for the Karabakh people or Nagorno-Karabakh, that  they left this territory at the time and moved to Armenia. People  also say that they are traitors without a homeland, but we don't talk  about that," Arshakyan emphasized, which caused a sharply negative  reaction from the NA deputy from the opposition faction "Armenia"  Levon Kocharyan, who was present in the meeting room and stood up for  his father, the second president of the Republic of Armenia Robert  Kocharyan.

"Sit still and shut up, maintain an atmosphere of correctness. I'll  throw you out of the meeting room right now, Levon. Sit still and  don't gesticulate," the vice-speaker shouted in response to the  shouts of Kocharyan Jr. This statement quite naturally caused a  sharply negative reaction from the opposition factions, who began to  leave the NA session hall en masse. During the mass exodus of the  opposition, another skirmish with representatives of the ruling party  occurred, during which the parliamentarians started a scuffle.   However, after some time the situation calmed down, and a number of  NA deputies returned to the session hall.
