Security officers are trying to remove Artur Sukoyan, the assistant of opposition “Armenia” Faction MP Levon Kocharyan—the son of former President Robert Kocharyan, from the National Assembly (NA) building.

In the NA corridor, MP Garnik Danielyan of the "Armenia" Faction told reporters that security officers told him that there was such an order from the NA chief of staff.

Earlier, a scuffle occurred in the NA when Artur Sargsyan of the "Armenia" Faction had announced that since he was going to be arrested, he wanted to spend the last two hours with his family and did not want to answer the fellow lawmakers' questions. After that, the situation in the NA sessions’ hall had become tense, NA ruling majority Civil Contract Faction members had attacked the opposition MP, and security officers had intervened.
