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.
