The U.S. Ambassador to Armenia, Marie Yovanovitch, visited hunger striker Raffi Hovannisian on Monday afternoon.

Arriving around 3:10 p.m. at Liberty Square, Yovanovitch had a short talk with Hovannisian's spouse Armenuhi Hovannisian and Heritage MP Anahit Bakhshyan. Later she took a seat beside Hovannisian and had a long conversation with the hunger-striker.

During the Ambassador's visit, the square was overcrowded.

Hovannisian is in the 14th day of his "Freedom Fast" hunger strike, in opposition to various actions and policies by the ruling government coalition.
