    Will the ARF use coarse methods?

    If this doesn't lead to any outcome, we will use coarse methods," said
    one of the participants of the hunger strike declared by the ARF, but
    did not go into detail as to what kind of methods he meant.

    The Dashnaks say that they are not worried over the fact that no state
    official has approached them in the past nine days. The participants
    of the ARF hunger strike are most offended by the television
    stations. One of the participants, artist Musheghyan noted that only
    "Yerkir Media" television has filmed and shown the strike.

    "There is nobody to provide coverage of our concerns," said Anahit
    Kirakosyan, standing in front of the government building with photos
    of her son Andranik Hayrapetyan who was killed in the army.

    "Serzh Sargsyan has turned television into his own show, but they
    never show the protests of the parents of soldiers who died while
    serving in peaceful conditions," said Anahit Kirakosyan.

    Participants of the protest were unaware that the government held a
    session yesterday and that no state official would hear their voices
    today. "I came from Hoktemberyan and didn't know that there was no
    session. But I am here," said Mrs. Anahit.

    Member of the Armenian National Congress, former political prisoner
    Vardges Gaspar demanded that the government fulfill the resolution of
    the European Court of Human Rights regarding "A1+" and open the
    television station. "At least put up with one television network along
    with the other 17," as stated on the sign held by Vardges Gaspar.

    The Dashnaks are actually in good relations with the law-enforcement
    bodies as they hold their protest. There were only two policemen near
    the government building and they were mainly overseeing four or five
    protesters, including parents of dead soldiers and Vardges Gaspar.

    The Dashnaks informed that on September 27 their US-based organization
    will organize a protest in front of the UN building along with the
    Armenian Liberal (Ramkavar) Party and the Social Democratic
    (Hnchakyan) Party.

    Let us remind that the UN General Assembly is currently holding its
    session and RA Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan has left for New
    York to participate in the session.
