Raffi Hovannisian to end hunger strike on Easter
Presiding over a massive demonstration of solidarity, with tens of thousands of citizens cheering on their true president at Liberty Square, Raffi K. Hovannisian announced on Friday that he would end his 22-day hunger strike on Easter, and immediately commence a regional victory tour in anticipation of the inauguration, on April 9, of a New Armenia, Raffi Hovannisian headquarters reported.
“Our self-purification is complete,” Hovannisian told the electric crowd. “We have cleansed ourselves of the fear and cowardice in each and every one of us. Now a new stage—and the final stage—of our struggle must begin. We shall struggle with principle, with courage, and with the invincible conviction that we are the true masters of our homeland. And on April 9 we shall change our destiny forever. We shall have our resurrection.”
Hovannisian and his supporters will mark the conclusion of this stage of the Barevolution by taking part, on Saturday at 6pm, in a concert-on-the-square featuring the Armenian folk-rock band Bambir and the popular singer Lilit Pipoyan.
On Sunday, March 31, after making a brief public statement at 10am, Hovannisian will leave Liberty Square to attend church services and spend Easter with his family.
The following day, Monday, April 1, Hovannisian will launch a four-day regional tour, for what he called a “national enlistment campaign,” during which he will recruit a citizens’ army for the liberation of the New Armenia.
As always the tour will culminate at Liberty Square, with a major rally scheduled for 6pm on Friday, April 5. That is when Hovannisian will discuss key organizational issues concerning the highly anticipated ceremonies of April 9, when Armenia’s citizens will rise to make history.
