TWO HUNGER-STRIKERS TAKEN TO HOSPITAL

Politics

After a two-day hunger strike Mkrtich Baghdasarian’s health worsened all of a sudden. Baghdasarian was taken to a Gyumri hospital at 6:45 a.m. May 14.

Head of the Therapy Department, Janna Hovsepian, says Mkrtich Baghdasarian went on a hunger-strike with a high temperature. Besides, he suffers from chronic bronchitis. The hunger-strike has exacerbated the illness. Though Baghdasarian's state has stabilised doctors say he shouldn't hunger-strike any longer as it may be fatal.

Another hunger-striker, Sevak Saghatelian, Mushegh Saghatelian's son, was taken to hospital on May 13. His state is normal at present.

The other hunger-strikers /13 in Gyumri, 3 in Maralik and Dzorakap/ still continue their struggle.

They are going to hold a press conference today.
