    The opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC), led by ex-President
    Levon Ter-Petrosian, sees the upcoming mayoral elections in Yerevan
    as a seconds round in the presidential elections.

    "For us these elections are not just mayoral elections. Taking
    Yerevan's political and economic weight into account, these elections
    are seen as an opportunity to change the current despotic regime. We
    consider these elections as a second round in the presidential
    elections, if you want," ANC spokesman Levon Zurabian told journalists
    on Monday.

    The nomination of ex-President Levon Ter-Petrosian for Yerevan mayor
    is a "political message sent to the public," he said.

    The ANC's political council on Sunday put Ter-Petrosian on top of
    the ANC ticket for Yerevan mayoral elections due on May 31.
