Armenia’s Ex-serviceman Tsolak Khachatryan, who had been on a hunger strike in front of the government building since July 8, restarted a hunger strike today. He told Armenian News-NEWS.am that the reason why he is on another hunger strike in front of the government building is because the Ministry of Defense hasn’t fulfilled his requirements within the time limits that it had promised to fulfill them.

“The Ministry of Defense is so impudent that it violated my rights by providing my personal data and other information to a media outlet. Instead of doing that, let the ministry fulfill its obligations. I have already filed a report on the crime to the police,” he said.

Ex-serviceman Tsolak Khachatryan had stopped his second hunger strike in front of the government building on July 25. He was demanding that the government pay him the amounts for his leave and demobilization.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
