U.S. Activist Ara Manoogian Stages Hunger Strike to Protest Rigged Armenian Election

Ara K. Manoogian, a U.S. based human rights activist, started a hunger strike on March 17, 2013, in front of the Burbank, California District Office of U.S. Representative Adam B. Schiff.

Manoogian has launched the hunger strike in the name of democracy and the rule of law in Armenia.

The activist recently chided U.S. President Obama for congratulating Serzh Sargsyan on his re-election as president of Armenia.

Manoogian writes: "I shall continue my hunger strike until U.S. President Barack Obama retracts his congratulations, which legitimize the official Armenian Presidential election results, skewed in favor of the corrupt incumbent, Serzh Sargsyan, and ignoring popular sovereignty as a cornerstone of democracy."

More information can be found on Manoogian's blog The Truth Must Be Told.

Sarkis I pity your comment and I pity you. But perhaps you should take your own advice it seems you are the one acting juvenile and cowardly. You wish you were as courageous and manly like Ara and all other intelligent Armenian man. Stop projecting your physiological weakness onto others. Go educate yourself and write an intelligent comment next time.God help you as I pity you.

Ara has always been childish. Nothing new, he is just attention deprived spoiled kid. He attacks left and right. Someone should talk to him and ask him to come to his senses and to get off from his mother's nipple and start eating real food.
