GB News reported that a brawl broke out in Armenia's parliament during debate on an opposition proposal to create a ministry of sex. The channel said chairs and punches were thrown during the disruption. According to GB News, the opposition party had promised earlier this year to establish a government ministry intended to leave no unsatisfied women in the country. The party argued that sexual dissatisfaction had caused a rise in political activism by middle-aged white women, the channel reported.
