Presidential candidate Paruyr Hayrikyan ends hunger strike

Armenian presidential candidate Paruyr Hayrikyan has announced a decision to end his-three day hunger strike.

“It’s the second day of my hunger strike. Despite this, I have extensive involvement in the current developments, pursuing both mental and physical activities. However, I have resolved to back presidential candidate Andreas Ghukasyan with only a three-day strike. By the way, the step may set a precedent. Yesterday, Shant Harutyunyan also expressed readiness to go on hunger strike,” Mr Hayrikyan’s facebook post reads.
