YEREVAN. – The four 19-year-olds that are participating in the sit-in at Liberty Square—in Armenia’s capital city of Yerevan—and had started a hunger strike, have ended it because of health problems.

One of these youth, Roman Galstyan, told about the aforementioned to Armenian News-NEWS.am. He added, however, that they will be back at the square on Thursday evening, to participate in the expected rally.

These youth had gone on a hunger strike on Tuesday, and joined the ongoing hunger strike by member of the opposition “Barev [Hello], Yerevan” faction at Yerevan Council, activist Davit Sanasaryan.

The objective of Sanasaryan’s hunger strike is to urge the people to go to Liberty Square, and continue the fight against the recent decision to raise the price of electricity in the country.

Yerevan police on Monday dispersed the demonstrators that had closed down Baghramyan Avenue—which leads to the Office of the President—for the past two weeks. Subsequently, the protesters assembled at Liberty Square, where their demonstration had initially started. Several protesters are staying at the square overnight. The demonstrators have announced that they will hold a public assembly at the square on Thursday evening, and a march might ensue.
