elections. Presidential contender, "Radio Hay" Company Manager,
and political scientist Andreas Ghukasyan-who on Tuesday ended his
hunger strike, which he had started on January 21 and under the slogan
"Stop Fake Elections"-issued a statement that includes the aforesaid.
"It became apparent that the [ruling] Republican Party has exhausted
all of its political opportunities to lawfully govern. During the vote,
more than half a million citizens rose against the ruling regime.
The decisive moment has come, when the people should decide, on their
own, the political future of the country.
The consolidation of [Armenia's] citizenry and political forces could
form a National Transitional Council, which will assume the task of
conducting free elections in the country.
I call [upon you] to unite and not permit anyone to yet again spoil
the people's aspiration for a democratic and rightful Armenia,"
