On October 29, during a session of the National Assembly, MPs kicked and punched one another. The fight began after a speech by Civil Contract MP Taron Chakhoyan. Ruben Rubinyan said he was deliberately not calling a recess so that everyone could see what was happening, and urged the MPs to either continue or return to their seats.
