MORE PEOPLE JOIN HUNGER-STRIKERS
Support A1+!Nine more people, among them member of the Hanrapetutiun (Republic) Party Lyova Eghazarian, joined the hunger-strikers in Yereblur on May 30.
They demand that the political prisoners be released and the terms of PACE Resolution 1609 be fulfilled.
Today the hunger strikers were visited by a “Red Cross” representative. Despite the poor health state the strikers are glad to be near the tombs of their fallen friends.
The leader of the Hanrapetutiun Party, Aram Sarkissian, and representative of the Pan-Armenian National Movement, Manushak Petrossian, laid flowers on the tomb of Vazgen Sarkissian.
The hunger-strikers have appealed to all Yerkrapah Volunteers to join their struggle and relieve the country of the burden of illegal authorities. “The country’s independence gained by the self-sacrifice of our companions-in-arms is jeopardized,” they say.
Asked whether any official had visited them Lyova Eghazarian said, “We don’t endorse Armenia’s authorities. We have no officials.”
Note, Armenian MP Samvel Alexanian /Lfik Samo/ visited Yerablur today. He stood for some minutes near the hunger-strikers, talked to someone and left without inquiring of the strikers’ state.
