Video: 'You are the traitor, you Turkish lackey' - MPs from the ruling party shout

The extraordinary session of the Standing Committee on Human Rights Protection and Public Affairs, where candidates for the Human Rights Defender are being presented, continues in a rather tense atmosphere. As we reported, members of the ruling Civil Contract party have left the session hall.

The video shows how the MPs are reacting to each other from the corridor. One of the MPs from the ruling party shouted in response to the speech of Human Rights Defender candidate Edgar Ghazaryan: 'You are the traitor, you Turkish lackey.'

Details can be found in the video.

It is worth mentioning that the opposition factions 'Honorable' and 'Armenia' have nominated Edgar Ghazaryan, the former head of the staff of the Constitutional Court. The ruling 'Civil Contract' party has presented the candidacy of Anahit Manasyan, the deputy chief prosecutor of the Republic.
