A violent brawl erupted in the Armenian Parliament on July 8, 2025, during a heated debate over stripping opposition MP Artur Sargsyan of his parliamentary immunity. Sargsyan, a former mayor of Sisian and member of the opposition faction "Armenia," is accused by authorities of plotting an armed coup and terrorist acts as part of the "Sacred Struggle" movement, which is led by the arrested Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan and involves several detained individuals. The altercation involved physical confrontations between ruling party and opposition lawmakers, including incidents where MPs grabbed and punched each other, prompting security forces to intervene. The clash reflects escalating political tensions in Yerevan amid the government's crackdown on its opponents. Following the brawl, Sargsyan was stripped of his immunity and faces prosecution for allegedly calling for the ousting of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. The incident has drawn widespread attention and has been described as chaotic, with multiple sources reporting on the violent exchanges and the broader political crisis in Armenia.
