Armenian National Congress (ANC) opposition bloc leader Levon Ter-Petrossian has to announce his candidacy for president at the oncoming elections, an ANC member said.

“Should Ter-Petrossian fail to run for president, a need to replace ANC leader might occur,” Sos Gimishyan told a news conference.

“A leader must lead people to victory. As ANC leader, Levon Ter-Petrossian may support any presidential candidate; however, ANC must only nominate him as its candidate,” he said.
