The National Assembly (NA) of Armenia has convened a special session Friday at the initiative of the members of its ruling majority Civil Contract Faction.

The matter of stripping opposition "Armenia" Faction MP Artur Sargsyan’s parliamentary immunity and detaining him is on the agenda of this special session.

The matter of stripping "Armenia" Faction leader—and former defense minister—Seyran Ohanyan and secretary Artsvik Minasyan of parliamentary immunity and launching criminal prosecution against them is also on the agenda.

In the case of Minasyan and Ohanyan, however, there is no motion for their being detained.

Seyran Ohanyan is not in attendance to this session.
