VOTE 2013: GHUKASYAN DECLINES ASSISTANCE FROM MINISTRY OF HEALTH
Vote 2013 | 13.02.13 | 10:25
Armenian presidential candidate Andreas Ghukasyan has turned down
an offer by the Ministry of Health to undergo a hospital medical
examination.
Ghukasyan, a marginal participant in the February race, has been on
hunger strike since January 21 to bring attention to his campaign to
"stop fake elections". Blood and urine samples tested in a laboratory
showed that he has suffered some damage to his health as a result
of his strike, however, the candidate has refused assistance after
Armenia's Minister of Education mocked his hunger strike as "a reality
TV show".
Ghukasyan says he will end his strike on February 20, after election
observers issue their findings on how the February 18 election was
conducted.
