Members of the Armenian parliament Samvel Farmanyan (Republican Party) and Levon Zurabyan (oppositionist Armenian National Congress) had a fistfight at a parliamentary session yesterday, Trend reports.
Farmanyan said in a conversation with Rubik Akopyan, the head of the Heritage Party, that the Prosperous Armenia party (headed by major businessman Gagik Tsarukyan) had been handing out money to people voting for the ANC candidate at a polling station during the parliamentary elections in 2012.
Zurabyan was outraged at such accusations and interfered in the conversation, which turned into a fight. Other MPs managed to stop Farmanyan and Zurabyan.
