Heated Exchange Between Manukyan and Pashinyan in Parliament

It is abnormal to finish a congress in 1.5 hours, the chief gives a speech, everyone votes. There was a verbal clash in the National Assembly between Gegham Manukyan and Nikol Pashinyan. During the question and answer session with the government, the opposition MP asked the prime minister: was there no one at the conference to say, "I am against removing Ararat from the emblem of the Civil Contract party?"

"That law on parties, if it gives you (referring to the ARF-D - ed.) the opportunity to lock yourselves in Tsaghkadzor, then it leaves bad loopholes. What does it mean for a party to go and lock itself up, to hold a conspiratorial, I don't want to say terrorist, meeting? That law needs to be changed," Pashinyan responded. Gegham Manukyan retorted sarcastically: change the law and write that Nikol Pashinyan can be present at the meetings of all parties.

"What you are saying, all people know, so go out to the squares, make a call, make a revolution, why have you come to sit in these soft chairs," Pashinyan said, addressing the opposition. "What business do you have here? If what you say is right, where is your revolution? Are you reconciling with all that? Isn't it a shame you have come and sat here, you go on business trips," said Pashinyan.
