    YEREVAN. - Two more Armenian presidential candidates decided to not
    run in the forthcoming elections arguing that the collateral for
    submitting formal nominations is too high.

    During a press conference on Thursday, "Time of the Essence" Socialist
    Movement Coordinator Robert Aharonyan, who had self-nominated,
    announced that he will no longer run for president. He considered
    it silly to spend such amount and promised to spend it on his own
    programs.

    Armenian Combat Karate Kobudo National Federation President, non-party
    affiliate Taron Abrahamyan, who, just like Aharonyan, had not paid the
    formal AMD 8 million (approx. $19,805) collateral, likewise announced
    that he will no longer run in the presidential elections.

    To note, Prosperous Armenia Party member, self-nominated Ruben Ayvazyan
    had announced Wednesday that he will no longer run for president.
