Ex-leader Ter-Petrossian unlikely to run for president – Heritage rep.![]() September 27, 2012 - 18:06 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The secretary general of Heritage party is skeptical about the possibility for the former Armenian president, Armenian National Congress (ANC) opposition bloc leader Levon Ter-Petrossian to enter the 2013 presidential race. “The decision might be explained by the hard times ANC is having. I don’t believe Ter-Petrossian will choose to leave having gained 5-6% of votes, looking back to furor his coming into politics caused,” Stepan Safaryan said. However, the Heritage official found it hard to name ANC’s future presidential candidate. Grigoryan added that the situation around the world and particularly in the region is very difficult. The Armenian Defense Ministry has denied Azerbaijan's accusations of violating the ceasefire. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan took to social media to thank his Lithuanian counterpart for the contribution. President of the Armenian parliament Alen Simonyan met with the Speaker of the Azerbaijani Milli Majlis Sahiba Gafarova. Partner news |
