Member of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia, MP Mkrtich Minasyan, doesn’t understand the reasons of Raffi Hovannisian’s hunger strike.

“Heritage party leader has a good opportunity to express his opinion from a parliamentary rostrum,” Minasyan told reporters on March 19.

Raffi Hovannisian went on hunger strike on March 15 after he called for the President’s resignation during Heritage party’s extraordinary meeting. Announcing the start of “Hungry for Change: Freedom and Justice in Armenia” hunger strike, Hovannisian promised to coordinate his future steps with the party members.
