announced he will begin a hunger strike as a form of protesting the
ongoing construction in Mashtots Park.
"I want to prove that a peaceful demonstration can be decisive in
this issue," he said.

the park, have issued a statement, calling on all concerned citizens
to join them in the coming two days. There are currently about 100

not allowing activists from getting near the kiosks being built.
Contractors continue to build the retail kiosks.
Singers Arsen Grigoryan and Artur Ispiryan came by the park today to
express their support for the activists.
