YEREVAN. – For us, the number-one candidate for the forthcoming elections is First President, and opposition bloc Armenian National Congress (ANC) leader, Levon Ter-Petrosyan. ANC MP and Social-Democratic Hnchakyan Party (SDHP) Chairwoman Lyudmila Sargsyan stated this during 17th congress of the opposition Armenian National Movement (ANM) party.    

“In [the] 2008 [presidential elections], the political opposition forces were able to unite solely around the person of Levon Ter-Petrosyan. ANC is accountable for the fate of the people and the people can win in the presidential elections, if they are not disenchanted,” she said.    

Also, the SDHP leader noted that Levon Ter-Petrosyan should run for president so as not to deprive the Armenian people of hope. 

To note, even though the formal nominations for next February’s presidential elections can be submitted as of December 25, neither ANM nor ANC have yet decided on the format of their participation in this voting.
