`We shall celebrate our Resurrection'
Raffi Hovannisian to end hunger strike on Easter
Yerevan - Presiding over a massive demonstration of solidarity, with
tens of thousands of citizens cheering on their true president at
Liberty Square, Raffi K. Hovannisian announced today that he would end
his 22-day hunger strike on Easter, and immediately commence a
regional victory tour in anticipation of the inauguration, on April 9,
of a New Armenia.
`Our self-purification is complete,' Hovannisian told the electric
crowd. `We have cleansed ourselves of the fear and cowardice in each
and every one of us. Now a new stage - and the final stage - of our
struggle must begin. We shall struggle with principle, with courage,
and with the invincible conviction that we are the true masters of our
homeland. And on April 9 we shall change our destiny forever. We shall
have our resurrection.'
Hovannisian and his supporters will mark the conclusion of this stage
of the Barevolution by taking part, tomorrow at 6pm, in a
concert-on-the-square featuring the Armenian folk-rock band Bambir and
the popular singer Lilit Pipoyan.
On Sunday, March 31, after making a brief public statement at 10am,
Hovannisian will leave Liberty Square to attend church services and
spend Easter with his family.
The following day, Monday, April 1, Hovannisian will launch a four-day
regional tour, for what he called a `national enlistment campaign,'
during which he will recruit a citizens' army for the liberation of
the New Armenia.
As always the tour will culminate at Liberty Square, with a major
rally scheduled for 6pm on Friday, April 5. That is when Hovannisian
will discuss key organizational issues concerning the highly
anticipated ceremonies of April 9, when Armenia's citizens will rise
to make history.
