Presidential candidate Andrias Ghukasyan goes on hunger strike
Presidential candidate Andrias Ghukasyan told reporters after the Central Electoral Commission session that he will go on an indefinite hunger strike from January 21.
The presidential hopeful added that he will stop the hunger strike only when his demand is met and “the international observers leave Armenia.”
On January 15, registered candidate Andrias Ghukasyan sent a letter to CEC chairman Tigran Mukuchyan demanding the invalidation of the registration of presidential candidate Serzh Sargsyan before the start of the election campaign, saying that otherwise he will go on an indefinite hunger strike.
Armenian Central Electoral Commission did not sustain his demand at a regular session today.
