Recall, Hovannisian has been on a hunger strike in Liberty Square since Mar. 15.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And what suggested that I should go?&#8221; asked Karakhanyan.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In your opinion, should one go or not?&#8221; the newspaper correspondent rephrased his question.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To tell the truth, I haven&#8217;t gone, but I&#8217;ve sent foodstuffs; he refused to accept them,&#8221; said the MP.<\/p>\n<p>The journalist then asked, why did Karakhanyan send food to someone on a hunger strike: was he trying to tempt him?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No, of course, no. I made my humanitarian gesture,&#8221; he responded.<\/p>\n<p>The ruling party member sent Hovannisian cheese, bread, sausages and tomatoes, which were sent back from Liberty Square. The newspaper reports that during the 7 days of Hovannisian&#8217;s hunger strike, only one other person has offered him food: an unnamed vagabond who brought him a meat pie.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A local journalist asked ruling Republican Party of Armenia MP Vazgen Karakhanyan why he sent food to someone on a hunger strike.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":78540,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tstyn_error":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[11976,12351,12077,23773],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78593"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78593"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78593\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78540"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78593"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78593"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78593"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
