Situation in the Armenian parliament  escalated again

ArmInfo.On May 15, tensions rose once again  in the National Assembly of Armenia, as amendments  to the law "On the military-industrial complex" were  being discussed.

This time, the tension rose due to a speech by NA deputy Anna  Mkrtchyan from the opposition faction "I Have Honor".The deputy noted  that amidst discussions about measures to develop the country's  military- industrial complex, "the person who seized power in Armenia  in 2018 transferred weapons totaling $6 billion to Azerbaijan." "We  have to state that this same person is incapable of demanding that  Azerbaijan return the occupied territories of Armenia. In the end,  neither the current bill nor any other project will change the fact  that Nikol (RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan - ed.) gave orders to  Armenian soldiers not to open fire, so as not to protect and not to  defend themselves," Mkrtchyan said.

In response, RA Vice Speaker Ruben Rubinyan urged Anna Mkrtchyan to  follow the example of the opposition faction "Armenia" and leave the  meeting room. "You are of no use anyway. As for the expression "the  person who seized power", that is your political and biological  father. Goodbye," Rubinyan said.  Following this, the NA session was  declared concluded.
