Violent Clash in Armenian Parliament Disrupts Session After Corruption Accusations

A violent brawl and hand-to-hand fighting involving chairs broke out between ruling party MPs and opposition members in the Armenian parliament in the capital, Yerevan.

The altercation began after an opposition politician accused the parliament speaker of corruption and embezzling state funds. The heated debate quickly escalated into a physical fight with punches and kicks exchanged, resulting in injuries to at least two MPs.

Parliamentary security intervened to separate the feuding lawmakers, leading to the suspension of the session.
