ANC leader quits election campaign in Meghri over health problems

Armenian National Congress (ANC) opposition bloc member Levon Ter-Petrossian was unable to continue ANC election campaign in Armenian city of Meghri due to health problems.

“Doctors advised Ter-Petrossian to abstain from further participation in the campaign due to problems with blood pressure fluctuation,” ANC spokesman Arman Musinyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

However, he refrained from answering the question regarding Ter-Petrossian’s possible non-participation in the rest of ANC election campaign

It is noteworthy that ANC leader was unable to head ANC’s procession to Tsitsernakaberd memorial complex on April 24.
