Presidential candidate to continue hunger-strike even if elections are
postponed
20:37 - 02.02.13
Presidential candidate Andrias Ghukasyan hunger-striking for already
12th day is not going to step back even if the elections be postponed
for 14 days connected with the assassination attempt of presidential
candidate Paruyr Hayrikyan.
`I will continue my hunger-strike,' he said speaking to Tert.am, and
noted that his plans have not been disturbed with it. `I have
presented my demands and I will cling to them' he said.
Ghukasyan said Hayrikyan is wounded and it is obvious that he will
need 7-10 days for recovery. He said there is no reason for Hayrikyan
not to use his right to postpone the elections.
In response to the claims of Republican party MP Karen Avagyan that
Andrias Ghukasyan is using liquid meal and each person can
hunger-strike in that way, the presidential candidate said those who
do not believe may come and check on their own. `I am using water and
a little bit mineral water, that's all,' he said, adding that he will
pursue his aim as far as his health condition will allow. Ghukasyan
said ambulance is visiting him everyday, checking his blood pressure
in the morning and in the evening.
`I have not applied for medical examination, but I am going to, to
have an idea about my health situation, but I repeat it is a secondary
issue for me,' he said.
`I think that what happened with Paruyr Hayrikyan shows that elections
are falsified and are taking place in illegal atmosphere,' he said.
Asked about any hypotheses of assassination attempt against Hayrikyan,
Ghukasyan said he has no such. `I think all the candidates except
Serzh Sargsyan are in danger and there is no guarantee that such thing
will not happen again,' he said.
