A member of the Armenian Pan-National Movement board has said that
former President Levon Ter-Petrosyan will announce his intention to
run for presidency at a party congress in late September.
"Ter-Petrosyan is capable of ensuring the people’s unity and
counteracting present-day challenges and increasing threats to
Armenia’s independence," Aram Manukyan told Arminfo news agency.
Manukyan added that political consultations are under way to discuss
the possibility of nominating Per-Petrosyan as the opposition’s single
candidate, the agency said.
The next presidential election in Armenia will be held in 2008. Levon
Ter-Petrosyan was Armenian president in 1991-98.
