American Armenian Agasi Vartanyan on Friday commenced, outside the
Armenian church in Burbank, California, USA, a 55-day fast, and to
draw the world's attention on the Armenian Genocide Centennial.
Mike Ramazyan, an event organizer, told the abovementioned to Armenian
News-NEWS.am.
Vartanyan, sponsored by the Glendale City Council, has decided to stay
in a glass-enclosed space for 55 days.
"He will drink only water, and nothing else. His objective is for the
US society to take notice of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian
Genocide," Ramazyan said. "This is done for the April 24 [, the
centenary of the genocide]; it doesn't pursue any other goals."
The American Armenian will not leave the three-meter-high-and
three-meter-wide glass space for 55 days.
"People can follow him 24 hours, but he will not be in touch with
anyone," Mike Ramazyan noted, and added: "He has a [mobile] phone; he
can contact us in an extreme case, if there be a problem."
Agasi Vartanyan will be under constant surveillance.
