Opposition MP calls for his ruling faction colleague to be called to  order

ArmInfo. Gegham Manukyan,  NA deputy from the opposition "Armenia" faction, demanded that his  colleague from the ruling "Civil Contract" faction, Gagik Melkonyan, be called to order.

Addressing Andranik Kocharyan, Chairman of the National Assembly  Standing Committee on Security and Defense, on March 2, the MP noted  that in one of his interviews, Gagik Melkonyan had made an  irresponsible statement regarding the military-political leadership  of Artsakh,  sentenced to various prison terms by the Azerbaijani  puppet regime.

"I demand that he be prohibited from making public statements on this  matter," Manukyan said. After this, the situation at the commission  meeting escalated sharply. Gagik Melkonyan attempted to intervene,  but Andranik Kocharyan prevented him, calling the assembled group to  order. "Let's put emotions aside, especially since the agenda has  been approved. We may face both calm and turbulent times, so let's  show respect for each other, respect for the prisoners of war and  their future. If the need arises to discuss issues outside the  agenda, we will gather together and discuss how to move forward,"  Kocharyan said.
