Hovannisian announces conditions to end hunger strike

Heritage party leader, former presidential candidate Raffi Hovannisian said Tuesday, March 12, he will end his hunger strike only if the Constitutional Court and President Serzh Sargsyan guarantee realization of the Armenian people’s constitutional right.

“I will welcome if Mr. Sargsyan come to Liberty Square. As I said yesterday, the Constitutional Court has the last chance to restore justice. I will wait till the court announces its ruling and hope that it will not confirm the false election results. Besides, I would like to hear Mr. Sargsyan’s suggestions about finding a way to solve the difficulty,” Hovannisian told a press conference in Liberty Square, where he started hunger strike on Sunday.

Hovannisian’s representatives earlier addressed the Constitutional Court with a demand to nullify the results of the February 18 presidential election.
