Heritage Party has issued a statement expressing support for the party's founding leader, Raffi Hovannisian, who went on hunger strike at Liberty Square on Tuesday.

"Hovannisian chose this extreme method of struggle in an attempt to call the attention of the Armenian people to the endangered future of our country.

With their refusal to fulfill their internal and external commitments and an obvious desire to hold power for another seven years, the authorities have put the future of our next generations into r peril.

Heritage confirms that nationwide demand to return to people their votes during a "state of emergency" and hold early parliament and presidential elections. Otherwise, the authorities will have to resign their posts, allowing for public to become masters of the country and win back freedom, sovereignty and democracy.


During the Heritage's congress on Tuesday, Hovannisian called on authorities to abdicate their posts and hold early parliament and presidential elections. His hunger strike is meant as a show of his commitment to see regime change.
