/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Hunger strike against Armenian-Turkish Protocols
will last 4 weeks, ARFD Supreme Body representative Armen Rustamyan
told journalists. He finds that people are not closely familiar with
documents and do not see its disadvantages that may reflect on young
generation, ARFD’s principal goal is to reveal document contents
to people.

ARFD Dashnaktsutyun has started a rally and hunger strike near Foreign
Ministry and Government buildings as sign of protest against Protocols
on Normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations. Protesters hold
posters reading, "No Preconditions!", "No Acceptance, No Concessions,
Protest!". There is also a stand containing ARFD’s demands proposed
to be included in Armenian-Turkish Protocols.

Initially 24 individuals, including ARFD’s youth wing representatives
and Supreme Body members were reported on hunger strike.
