World boxing champion Israel Hakobkokhyan, who has declared a termless hunger strike near the statue of Garegin Nzhdeh in central Yerevan, hopes people concerned about the destiny of the nation will hear his call to unite against the current authorities and will come together.

“The main goal of my hunger strike is to see people concerned about the nation gather around a table and decide what they can do to make the government resign soon,” Hakobkokhyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

Hakobkokhyan, who is fighting against the Istanbul Convention and Lanzarote Convention, the exploitation of the Amulsar gold mine and other issues through a hunger strike, reminds that the current authorities would talk about these problems before coming to power, but have forgotten about them now.

“Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan used to fight against exploitation of the Amulsar gold mine, but now he is sending troops to beat the residents of Jermuk so that their just demand isn’t presented,” he stated, adding that citizens support his demands.
