“WHERE ARE YOU, DOCTORS?”
Support A1+!The Youth Union of the Pan-Armenian National Movement (HHSh) and the “Sargis Tkhruni” Youth Union of the Social Democrat Hunchakian Party (SDHK) staged a protest action in front of the RoA Ministry of Health on June 16. They were holding Armenia’s flag and posters with the inscriptions, “Stay loyal to the Hypocrates Oath,” “Where are you, doctors?” “We will not surrender,” “Do pay attention to hunger-strikers,” etc. < p> “We call doctors’ attention to the hunger-strikers throughout the country. Both the Red Cross and the Health Ministry seem to have forgotten about them. They must stay loyal to the Hypocrates oath and render aid to them regardless of a hunger-striker’s political dissent. All human beings need attention. Who is to care for them?” said Gevorg Beglarian, member of the HHSh Youth Union.
“Doctors should examine the hunger-strikers every day lest something happens to them,” said the protesters.
They handed a letter to Minister of Health Harutiun Kushikian urging him to be loyal to the Oath and to demonstrate a reverent attitude to the hunger-strikers.
Afterwards the protesters directed to Northern Avenue to meet people hunger-striking in the area.
