Prosperous Armenia party members to visit hunger striker Hovannisian

Prosperous Armenia party members are going to visit Heritage party leader Raffi Hovannisian, who continues his hunger strike in Liberty Square.

“We will visit our counterpart and tell him that Prosperous Armenia party leader Gagik Tsarukyan calls on him to stop the hunger strike and return to parliament,” MP Naira Zohrabyan said, adding that Prosperous Armenia anyway respects the decision of Heritage party leader.

During the extraordinary congress of Heritage on March 15, Raffi Hovannisian urged Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan to resign and thus to ensure fair and independent elections in the country. He also announced the start of “Hungry for Change: Freedom and Justice in Armenia” hunger strike and promised to coordinate his future steps with the party members.
