Presidential elections in Armenia will be held on Feb. 19 next year,
the country's Central Electoral Commission (CEC) announced on Friday.
"On the basis of the constitution, the presidential election in Armenia
will be held on Feb. 19, 2008," CEC Chairman Garegin Azarian said on
public television.
Under Armenia's constitution, a presidential election is held 50 days
prior to the date of termination of powers of the active president. A
person cannot hold the office of president for more than two five-year
terms.
President Robert Kocharian's second term ends in 2008. He was elected
for the first time in spring 1998 and re-elected in 2003.
As Feb. 19 is Tuesday, the authorities have declared it a day off work.
