Grant Bagratyan, Armenian former Prime Minister and currently a member
of the Armenian National Congress (ANC) said on Facebook that he will
run for president.
The issue will be discussed at the Freedom Party’s assembly on December 24.
If Levon Ter-Petrosyan, leader of the ANC and former President of
Armenia, decides to run for president, Bagratyan will quit the idea.
Armenia will have presidential polls on February 18, 2013.
Introduction of candidates will take place on December 25 – January 4.
Registration of candidates will take place on January 4-14,
campaigning will take place from January 21 to 12 am on February 16.
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan of the Republican Party is the
favourite. He has had no major competitors since Gagik Tsarukyan,
leader of Prosperous Armenia, quit the campaign.
