ArmInfo.Citizens wishing to return to Russia stopped their hunger strike. To recall, the protest action was announced on September 22 and took place in front of the RA Government.
The protesters explained their decision to end the hunger strike by passing on their demand to the Prime Minister's adviser, as well as photocopies of the passports of about 400 citizens wishing to travel to Russian territory. After that, according to them, a representative of the Prime Minister's Office urged them to end the hunger strike until the issue was resolved.
To recall, this group of citizens has been holding protest actions "I want to Russia" for more than a month now. In particular, they stated that they had arrived in Armenia for a while, but because of the coronavirus pandemic, they could not go back until the borders were closed. At the same time, some of them are forced to live in Armenia for hire, while in Russia they have housing and work. Some of the protesters in the Russian Federation still have families. As an alternative way of solving the problem, the protesters suggested allowing them to leave for Russia not by air, but by land.
