    WILL TER-PETROSYAN BE TOO OLD TO RUN IN 2013?

    Arman Melikyan, a former Artsakh foreign minister, stated at a press
    conference today that Levon Ter-Petrosyan will be too old to run for
    the presidency of Armenia in the 2013 election.

    The RA Constitution however, only states that a candidate must be
    at least 35 years-old and have been a citizen for the past ten years
    and have resided in the country on a permanent basis for that length
    of time.

    The constitution says nothing about the maximum age a candidate can
    be. (Ter-Petrosyan will be 68 in 2013).

    Melikyan, who also ran for Armenia's presidency in 2008, continued by
    saying that HAK would have to change the constitution if Ter-Petrosyan
    was to enter the race and to do this they would have to negotiate
    with the government.
