The incident began when opposition MP Artur Sargsyan (also referred to as Sarkisyan), representing the "Armenia" faction, tried to leave the chamber following a speech in which he sharply criticized the government. 

India's defence arsenal has been growing and with the increased defence manufacturing, India is now scaling up its defence exports. Many countries including the United States, France, and Armenia have been buying Indian weapon systems. Now, in a boost for the 'Make in India' scheme, a top French Army officer said that they were evaluating the Indian Pinaka multi-barrel rocket launcher systems for their requirements. Earlier, Armenia has also expressed an interest in buying the system.

Countries like the United States, France, and Armenia have emerged as the top importers of Indian defence products.

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said Turkey "entirely rejects" the U.S. decision which he said was based "solely on populism". In his statement, Biden said the American people honor "all those Armenians who perished in the genocide that began 106 years ago today." For decades, measures recognizing the Armenian genocide stalled in the U.S. Congress and U.S. presidents.

Under the terms of the ceasefire agreement signed between Armenia and Azerbaijan on Tuesday, many ethnic Armenian dominated areas will be handed back to Azerbaijan. Due to this, people are setting their homes on fire before handing over their villages to Azerbaijan.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan first announced the signing on social media in the early hours of Tuesday. Nagorno-Karabakh has been under the control of ethnic Armenian forces backed by Armenia since a 1994 truce ended a separatist war in which an estimated 30,000 people died.

After six weeks of heavy fighting, Azerbaijan said on Sunday it had captured Shusha, Nagorno-Karabakh`s biggest city. Azeri defence ministry video posted online showed Azerbaijan`s national flag flying over deserted streets in what it said was Shusha. Armenia has denied the extent of Azerbaijan`s territorial gains.

Azeris celebrated on the streets of Baku after President Ilham Aliyev said on Sunday his country`s forces had taken Shusha, the second-largest city in the Nagorno-Karabakh enclave. "This day will become a great day in the history of Azerbaijan," Aliyev said, announcing that Baku`s troops had taken Shusha/Shushi. Shusha, which Armenians call Shushi, is of cultural and strategic importance to both sides and is located 15 km (9 miles) south of the enclave`s largest city Stepanakert.

Azeri President Ilham Aliyev said on Sunday his troops would "go to the end" should negotiations fail to result in an agreement by ethnic Armenian forces. Aliyev also said Armenia had "no basis" to request Russian military assistance in the conflict. Further shelling was reported by Azerbaijan and ethnic Armenian forces in and around Nagorno-Karabakh on Sunday.

An Armenian defence ministry official has said many from the diaspora applied to volunteer without giving a precise number. Hundreds from as far afield as Argentina and the US have rushed back to Armenia for combat training. The fighting has prompted mass mobilisation across Armenia.

A third ceasefire was agreed on Sunday, this time brokered by the United States after separate talks in Washington between US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Amid heightened tensions and drastic escalation in violence, Armenia and Azerbaijan have agreed to attempt yet another ceasefire in the conflicted Nagorno-Karabakh region. The ceasefire will begin on Sunday, October 25 at midnight (local time).

Armenia`s prime minister said on Wednesday he saw no possibility of a diplomatic solution at this stage in the conflict with Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh. His comments, after Azerbaijan`s president said he believed the conflict could be solved militarily, increased doubts over a diplomatic initiative by major powers. In the latest flare-up of the decades-old conflict, hundreds of people have been killed since September 27 in clashes in and around Nagorno-Karabakh.

The Government of Turkey is now working to expedite establishing a military base in Azerbaijan. Analysts believe that the Azeri government has even begun to work towards this. The defense agreement between both the countries provides basis for this, which includes provisions on establishing military bases in each other's countries.

Armenia and Azerbaijan accused each other on Sunday of violating a new humanitarian ceasefire in fighting over the mountain enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh, hours after it was agreed. The truce agreed on Saturday came into force at midnight (2000 GMT) after a Russian-brokered ceasefire failed to halt the worst fighting in the South Caucasus since the 1990s. The Armenian defence ministry said the Azeri army had fired twice during the night and used artillery.

Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed to a new ceasefire from midnight.

Both sides had accused each other earlier of fresh attacks in violation of a week-old Russian-brokered truce that had failed to halt the worst fighting in the South Caucasus since the 1990s.

Azerbaijan, Armenia accuse each other of attacks. Baku said 13 civilians were killed and over 40 wounded in Ganja. Hundreds have died in a flare-up since Sept. 27.
