Volunteer soldier Artur Ayvazyan, who was detained after Friday’s protest rally in Syunik Province of Armenia, has gone on a hunger and water strike. His lawyer, Ara Zakaryan, on Saturday informed Armenian News-NEWS.am about this.
"He demands his release, considers the detention illegal, and demands that the boys—who are standing unarmed in front of the Azerbaijanis—be armed," said Zakaryan.
The lawyer added that they had already appealed the decision to detain Artur Ayvazyan.
