It has been the fifth day the world boxing champion Israel Hakopkokhyan
continues the hunger-strike near the building of RA Central Election
Committee, demanding to revise the election results in the 11th
district of Yerevan (Shengavit community) where, according to him,
mass fraud took place.
I. Hakopkokhyan told ArmInfo that he was talking to the leader of
"Orinats Yerkir" Artur Baghdasaryan by phone yesterday, and the
latter offered him to stop the hunger-strike since it is detrimental
to health. A. Baghdasaryan also offered him to join the OY complaint
directed to the Constitutional Court about mass falsifications during
the election. "Perhaps, I shall accept A. Baghdasaryan's proposal
and stop the hunger- strike", I. Hakopkokhyan said. He also noted
that according to the data of his relatives and friends, RA Prime
Minister, the Republican party leader, Serzh Sargsyan, is going to
visit him shortly.
"Perhaps, S. Sargsyan will personally visit me today or tomorrow,
and I am patiently waiting for him as I understand he is a very busy
man", I. Hakopkokhyan said. Asked how the doctors assess his state,
the boxer answered: "To tell the truth, I do not believe them, however,
I feel perfectly well".
