Will Serzh Sargsyan visit Raffi Hovannisian?
rmenia's Ex-Foreign Minister, Founder of the Civilitas Foundation Vartan Oskanian has issued a statement urging Serzh Sargsyan to visit Raffi Hovannisian.
"Today, I paid another visit to Raffi Hovannisian, ex-Foreign Minister of Armenia and Founder of the Heritage Party, who has been staging hunger strike at Liberty Square already for the eighth day.
It is clear that Hovannisian is determined to continue the political protest as an expression of his disagreement with the authorities' policies. Each day of the action adversely affects Hovannisian's health.
Undoubtedly, Hovannisian's move reflects the deep despair and disappointment of our public.
In 2007, the then Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan visited the famous boxer Israel Hakobkokhyan to dissuade him from continuing his hunger strike. I believe Serzh Sargsyan to do the same and visit Raffi Hovannisian at Liberty Square. This step would contribute to the improvement of the internal political realities, as well as provide a way out of the current situation," said Oskanian.
