Yerevan's Deputy Mayor Armen Pambukhchyan has commented on the brawl that occurred between the ruling and opposition members of the city council during the council meeting on June 23, which caused the session to be interrupted for half an hour.

According to «Armenpress», Pambukhchyan first apologized for the incident and then explained the reason why this incident occurred. «One of the real reasons is that the faction called «Mother Armenia», which has already split between Robert Kocharyan and Gagik Tsarukyan, attempted to provoke yet another incident.

You have witnessed these provocations many times, when they, not registering, lacking the courage to come and stand at the podium and give speeches, constantly interrupt the speakers with remarks, in some cases in an offensive tone.

And I believe that they should be shown their place,» Pambukhchyan said.
