The Armenian Constitutional Court shortly announced its ruling on the
application of Levon Ter-Petrosyan on finding the obstacles imposed on
him us unconquerable. The Constitutional Court ruled out that the facts
submitted by the application " cannot be considered as unconquerable."
Speaking about the constitutional-legal content of the obstacle
called unconquerable, the constitutional court ruling mentions that
"the legal precedent of this provision has outset from the French
constitutional-legal practice, according to which, unconquerable
obstacle is described as the one in which the electoral process of
a certain presidential candidate is impossible in terms of his or
her participation."
The constitutional court ruling continues: "The continuation of the
campaign by the candidate proves that unconquerable obstacles are
not present but there is a dispute on the legality of the electoral
campaign which is submitted according to law to bodies that have
legal right to solve such issues."
