Arman Melikyan, a former Artsakh foreign minister, stated at a press
conference today that Levon Ter-Petrosyan will be too old to run for
the presidency of Armenia in the 2013 election.
The RA Constitution however, only states that a candidate must be
at least 35 years-old and have been a citizen for the past ten years
and have resided in the country on a permanent basis for that length
of time.
The constitution says nothing about the maximum age a candidate can
be. (Ter-Petrosyan will be 68 in 2013).
Melikyan, who also ran for Armenia's presidency in 2008, continued by
saying that HAK would have to change the constitution if Ter-Petrosyan
was to enter the race and to do this they would have to negotiate
with the government.
