Julfalakyan Denies Any Fistfight Took Place

Arsen Julfalakyan, a member of the National Assembly from the "My Step" faction, has made a Facebook post denying reports about a brawl involving him and his father.

“Due to the numerous calls I have received from friends, relatives, close ones, and of course journalists regarding the material that appeared online this morning, I preferred to respond in this format, allowing journalists to use it as clarification for their pieces...

It is physically impossible for me to respond to each individual about the same question one by one.

I want to say right away that there was NO brawl or physical violence from either me or of course Levon Julfalakyan. Sergey Mkrtichyan is a co-owner of the café with us, and we had met yesterday to discuss business matters, which took place in a slightly tense atmosphere. During the conversation, he felt unwell (later the nurse said his blood pressure had risen...), so we called for an ambulance, and he was taken to the hospital.

Later, upon learning of his statement, we voluntarily went to the police to clarify what caused such behavior and why this was happening.

Perhaps that’s all. Sergey himself will probably explain the rest.

I repeat, I did not hit Sergey at all, and it is even unnecessary to mention Levon Julfalakyan). Those who know me at least a bit understand that I am absolutely against violence. And I really can’t even imagine what would happen if I (and my father with me...) were to beat someone; what consequences that could have...
