    Presidential candidate to continue hunger-strike even if elections are
    postponed

    20:37 - 02.02.13


    Presidential candidate Andrias Ghukasyan hunger-striking for already
    12th day is not going to step back even if the elections be postponed
    for 14 days connected with the assassination attempt of presidential
    candidate Paruyr Hayrikyan.

    `I will continue my hunger-strike,' he said speaking to Tert.am, and
    noted that his plans have not been disturbed with it. `I have
    presented my demands and I will cling to them' he said.

    Ghukasyan said Hayrikyan is wounded and it is obvious that he will
    need 7-10 days for recovery. He said there is no reason for Hayrikyan
    not to use his right to postpone the elections.

    In response to the claims of Republican party MP Karen Avagyan that
    Andrias Ghukasyan is using liquid meal and each person can
    hunger-strike in that way, the presidential candidate said those who
    do not believe may come and check on their own. `I am using water and
    a little bit mineral water, that's all,' he said, adding that he will
    pursue his aim as far as his health condition will allow. Ghukasyan
    said ambulance is visiting him everyday, checking his blood pressure
    in the morning and in the evening.

    `I have not applied for medical examination, but I am going to, to
    have an idea about my health situation, but I repeat it is a secondary
    issue for me,' he said.

    `I think that what happened with Paruyr Hayrikyan shows that elections
    are falsified and are taking place in illegal atmosphere,' he said.

    Asked about any hypotheses of assassination attempt against Hayrikyan,
    Ghukasyan said he has no such. `I think all the candidates except
    Serzh Sargsyan are in danger and there is no guarantee that such thing
    will not happen again,' he said.
