She had a conversation with leader of Heritage party and asked him about his health, head of Heritage parliamentary group Stepan Safaryan told NEWS.am.

Asked whether U.S. envoy urged Hovannisian to stop the hunger strike, Safaryan noted that ambassadors representing democratic states are well aware of the notion of civil society and realize that Raffi Hovannisian made the decision and will decide on his future actions himself. “No ambassador will make an appeal to start or stop hunger strike,” he said.

Earlier German Ambassador and EU envoy visited Raffi Hovannisian as well.
