Civil Contract MP and Yerkrapah Volunteer Union board chairman Sasun Mikaelyan, speaking at a session of the National Assembly's defense and security committee, opposed an opposition proposal to invite the relevant authorities and demand explanations about an Azerbaijani soldier's intrusion into the village of Shaki. He said that "some deranged Azerbaijani walked into some village" and that a "show" had been made of it from the podium. Analyst Hakob Badalyan asked how Mikaelyan knows this.
