Armenian parliament session descends into brawl

A session of the Armenian parliament was abruptly interrupted due to a scuffle that broke out between opposition and pro-government MPs.

According to Report, the altercation began after Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan referred to some generals as "cowards and deserters".

"Many of the generals you [the opposition] talk about toasted to the homeland. As soon as the offensive began, they called me asking to be evacuated. They are cowards and deserters," Pashinyan said, after which a verbal exchange escalated into a small brawl.
