YEREVAN. Oct 15 (Interfax) – The Armenian National Movement (ANM) will
nominate first Armenian President Levon Ter-Petrosian as candidate
for the upcoming presidential election, party leader Ararat Zurabian
told a press conference in Yerevan on Monday.
"Ter-Petrosian has yet to make a final decision, but I am sure that
he will run for the presidency," he said.
The party is ready to give the current Armenian authorities a run
for their money, Zurabian said. "In 1988 the ANM had a more serious
opponent: the Soviet system," he said.
The next presidential election in Armenia is due in spring 2008.
