Pashinyan blames opposition for brawl in Armenian parliament

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan told a briefing that he condemns violence but supports the actions of Civil Contract faction MPs during the brawl in the National Assembly. According to him, a member of the Strong Armenia faction behaved insolently toward him from the rostrum and did not apologise, so the responsibility lies with the opposition. "Whether with a chair or with something else, it is proportionate and right," Pashinyan said.
