Armenian parliament brawl sparked over ‘Ministry of Sex’ in third fight in a month

A brawl broke out in the Armenia parliament for third time in a month with parties clashing over a proposed ‘Ministry of Sex’.

The idea was proposed by the opposition Strong Armenia party because they claim a lack of sexual satisfaction was leading middle-aged women to political activism, according to The Telegraph.

On Thursday (October 29), the ruling Civil Contract party demanded an apology from Strong Armenia leader Narek Karapetyan to women for the ministry idea, which prompted the notoriously-combustible chamber to descent into a fist fight.
