    MORE PEOPLE JOIN HUNGER-STRIKERS
    [07:42 pm] 30 May, 2008

    Nine more people, among them member of the
    Hanrapetutiun (Republic) Party Lyova Eghazarian,
    joined the hunger-strikers in Yereblur on May 30.

    They demand that the political prisoners be released
    and the terms of PACE Resolution 1609 be fulfilled.

    Today the hunger strikers were visited by a -Red
    Cross- representative. Despite the poor health state
    the strikers are glad to be near the tombs of their
    fallen friends.

    The leader of the Hanrapetutiun Party, Aram
    Sarkissian, and representative of the Pan-Armenian
    National Movement, Manushak Petrossian, laid flowers
    on the tomb of Vazgen Sarkissian.

    The hunger-strikers have appealed to all Yerkrapah
    Volunteers to join their struggle and relieve the
    country of the burden of illegal authorities. -The
    country's independence gained by the self-sacrifice of
    our companions-in-arms is jeopardized,- they say.

    Asked whether any official had visited them Lyova
    Eghazarian said, -We don't endorse Armenia's
    authorities. We have no officials.-

    Note, Armenian MP Samvel Alexanian /Lfik Samo/ visited
    Yerablur today. He stood for some minutes near the
    hunger-strikers, talked to someone and left without
    inquiring of the strikers' state.
