According to Hraparak daily, despite favorable conditions following Prosperous Armenia party leader Gagik Tsarulyan’s refusal to run for president, Armenian National Congress (ANC) leader Levon Ter-Petrossian resolved against running for president, citing his age as the reason behind his decision.

Perhaps, ANC leader believes himself too old for getting involved in active politics, however, Armenia’s political stage will significantly weaken without him, the paper says.
