The National Assembly (NA) of Armenia on Monday voted in favor of stripping opposition "Armenia" Faction leader—and former defense minister—Seyran Ohanyan and secretary Artsvik Minasyan of parliamentary immunity and launching criminal prosecution against them.

The matter of stripping "Armenia" Faction member Artur Sargsyan’s parliamentary immunity and detaining him is also on the agenda of today’s special session of the NA.

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