Hunger strike against Armenian-Turkish Protocols will last 4 weeks, ARFD Supreme Body representative Armen Rustamyan told journalists. He finds that people are not closely familiar with documents and do not see its disadvantages that may reflect on young generation, ARFD's principal goal is to reveal document contents to people.
