ANC head undecided on presidency, paper saysOctober 16, 2012 - 11:45 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - According to Irates de facto paper, the Armenian National Congress (ANC) opposition bloc will nominate its own candidate for the presidential elections in February. Majority of the bloc representatives share the same standpoint, deeming cooperation with other political forces a senseless move. Nevertheless, the paper’s sources say none of the ANC members is aware of the participation format for the upcoming race, as the bloc leader is in two minds about his plans on presidency. ANC head’s hesitation, however, is also conditioned by another factor, i.e. approval by the foreign forces, the paper says.
