Armenia opposition member declares hunger strike outside OSCE office

Armenia’s opposition Heritage Party Spokesperson Davit Sanasaryan, who is also a member of the opposition “Barev [Hello], Yerevan” faction at the capital city Yerevan Council, has commenced a hunger strike.

Sanasaryan informed about the aforesaid in his Facebook account.

“I am starting a hunger strike, on [Monday,] 17 November at 1:45pm in front of the OSCE Office in Yerevan, as a sign of protest to uncover the causes of the Armenian helicopter’s shooting at the Karabakh-Azerbaijan zone of contact, and the returning of the bodies of our three pilots who are killed. This is not solely the task of the MOD.

“If there is an organization which I have an unconditional faith in, it is our Armed Forces.

“And what are the OSCE [Minsk Group] co-chairs engaged in? What have they done to this day that we [may] bring the helicopter crew back peacefully? And if they have done anything, it is very little.

“Therefore, I express my resentment and demand in front of the OSCE Office in Yerevan, and declare an indefinite hunger strike as long as the boys have fallen before the mouth of the wolf.

“I urge the MOD not to see this [hunger strike of mine as] a provocation. I believe in your composed and ever-new decisions,” Davit Sanasaryan specifically wrote in his Facebook page.

The Azerbaijani armed forces violated the ceasefire and shot down a Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Air Force helicopter on November 12. The chopper was downed during a training flight, and it crashed nearby the Karabakh-Azerbaijan Line of Contact. As a result, three pilots are believed to have been killed: the commander of the helicopter, Major Sergey Sahakyan, the Senior Lieutenant Sargis Nazaryan, and the Lieutenant Azat Sahakyan. Information was disseminated some time thereafter, however, that a member of the helicopter crew may still be alive. The adversary, on the other hand, continues to fire intensive shots toward the crash site, thus, not allowing access to the area.
