But that had a term. Thank God, Raffi got out [of his hunger strike] 15 days later; otherwise, he was saying when God says so. I don&#8217;t know if He spoke or not,&#8221; said Zohrabyan, referring to Heritage Party leader Raffi Hovannisian&#8217;s much publicized hunger strike, which ended on Mar. 30.<\/p>\n<p>Zohrabyan noted that everyone has his methods of struggle. &#8220;The Heritage Party likewise has its methods: HAK [the Armenian National Congress], its; but it&#8217;s important that there not be clashes between the opposition and the ruling authorities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to the MP, there&#8217;s competition among Armenia&#8217;s opposition today and it&#8217;s not obligatory that the opposition only compete with the authorities. Within this context, he considered HAK leader Levon Ter-Petrossian&#8217;s criticism toward Raffi Hovannisian to be strict.<\/p>\n<p>The authorities, said Zohrabyan, take into consideration the concerns of opposition forces.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not saying that we don&#8217;t consider those who protest; we implement reforms, improvements, we&#8217;re not a stone regime, we&#8217;re not [Libyan leader Muammar] Gaddafi,&#8221; he said.<\/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>Ruling Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) deputy chair Razmik Zohrabyan accepts a hunger strike as a form of struggle, but&#8230; <!-- 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":81378,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tstyn_error":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[10340,12075,12351,21114,12077,15992],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81425"}],"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=81425"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81425\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/81378"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=81425"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=81425"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=81425"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
