Raffi Hovannisian to continue his hunger strike for freedom

Heritage party leader will continue his “Hungry for Change: Freedom and Justice in Armenia” hunger strike as long as he can.

“During these 8 days of my protest, thousands of Armenian citizens approached me to ask to stop the hunger strike. I deeply respect both advice and criticism, but I am exercising my constitutional right, holding a hunger strike in Liberty Square,” Raffi Hovannisian said during an open-air press conference on March 22.

He also informed that doctors rate his health state as satisfactory at the moment.
