Support A1+!
On November 26 ten veterans of the Karabakh war went on a hunger strike in the Yereblur (veteran's cemetery). The strikers demanded to recognise Artsakh's independence, immediately release political prisoners, publicise the details over the Karabakh talks and forget about the surrender of liberated territories.
“The strike was spontaneous. We are all concerned about the future of liberated territories. It is not strange that the territorial concession is put under consideration today, when most Artsakhi heroes are jailed,” said Merujan Harutyunyan.
Note that the City Hall, the Ministry of Healthcare and the International Committee of the Red Cross have been notified of the hunger protest. At the request of the men-protesters women didn't strike today. In case their demands are not met within three days the protesters promise to go on a termless hunger strike.
