Arayik Khandoyan and Ashot Petrosyan declare hunger strike (video)
Members of the Sasna Tsrer group, Arayik Khandoyan and Ashot Petrosyan, have gone on hunger strike today, joining the demand of the leader of the Founding Parliament Garegin Chukaszyan to release political prisoners. "He has presented a number of proposals to the new Armenian authorities regarding the release of political prisoners and the change of the situation in the system, up to the amnesty declared to be comprehensive," said Arayik Papikyan to A1 +. The Defender has visited them today. Arayik Khandoyan, who has made a great contribution to the Artsakh war, congratulated the Armenian people on the occasion of Shushi's victory. "He was a little annoyed by the fact that most important people, Zhirayr Sefilyan and others who were the creators of this victory are currently in prison. The imprisonment of all of them was conditioned by the personality of Serzh Sargsyan, the former head of the system. Today's event could be full with the participation of those who dedicate this victory to the people." According to Arayik Papikyan, the political situation has changed in the country, and Nikol Pashinyan should make a political statement that the political prisoners should be released immediately. Garegin Chukaszyan, Arayik Khandoyan and Ashot Petrosyan are going to continue the hunger strike as long as there are political prisoners in Armenia.
