Two years ago, I began hunger strike on March 15, the day when Soghomon
Tehleryan did his heroic act. I ended the hunger strike on March 30,
on the eve of my daughter Shoushi's birthday, Heritage party leader,
former presidential hopeful Raffi Hovannisian told a news conference
in Liberty Square.
When asked if this time also he is going to end his hunger strike
on March 30, Hovannisian said that unless his demands are met, his
hunger strike may last longer than 15 days.
The Central Electoral Commission of Armenia on February 25 announced
the final results of the presidential elections in Armenia. According
to them, Serzh Sargsyan won the elections with 58.64% of the votes,
while his closest rival, Raffi Hovannisian, received 36.75% of
the votes. Hovannisian disagrees with the election results and is
holding mass protest actions. On March 4, representatives of Raffi
Hovannisian and former candidate Andrias Ghukasyan handed an appeal
to the Constitutional Court disputing the results of the February 18
presidential elections in Armenia.
