YEREVAN.- Presidential candidate Andreas Ghukasyan, who has been on
hunger strike since Monday, said he feels well.
Asked about other candidate Paruyr Hayrikyan's willingness to join him,
Ghukasyan said he is not the person demanding to stop fake elections
in Armenia.
"Hayrikyan's joining the hunger strike will increase influence of
our motto and will raise public confidence in effectiveness of our
struggle," he told reporters on Wednesday. Ghukasyan said he has no
intention to stop the hunger strike.
"To stop the strike means to devalue the struggle and the idea itself,"
he emphasized.
As reported earlier, presidential contenders Raffi Hovannisian-who
heads the opposition Heritage Party-and Aram Harutyunyan-who leads
the National Accord party-came to visit him on the first day of his
hunger strike, and urged him to end the hunger strike so as not to
harm his body.
