    YEREVAN. - Iranian-Armenian writer and publicist Violet Grigoryan-who
    now lives in Armenia-on Friday joined the hunger strike by opposition
    Heritage Party leader, former FM Raffi Hovannisian-who is declared
    runner-up to the winner, incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan, as a
    result of the presidential election that was conducted on February 18,
    but who claims to be the real winner in the vote and who declared a
    hunger strike on March 10 at capital city Yerevan's Liberty Square-and
    his supporters. Grigoryan had written about this intention of hers
    in her Facebook account on Thursday.

    "Tomorrow, I will go to a one-day hunger strike of support; I will
    sit beside Raffi. Anyone joining?" Grigoryan had written.

    In his turn, Heritage's representative Davit Sanasaryan wrote as
    follows in his Facebook account:

    "Violet Grigoryan joined the hunger strike. At present, she is sitting
    beside me [and] reading in Farsi the book [entitled] Conversations
    with 11 Well-Known Women Writers."
