The first president of Armenia, Levon Ter-Petrosyan, who has decided to
run for president again, has very few voters, Russian Co-chair of the
Armenia-Russia Inter-parliamentary Commission, member of the Federation
Council of Russia Nikolay Ryzhkov said in Yerevan, Friday. He was asked
by journalists to comment upon the chances of the first president of
Armenia.

According to him, he knows Levon Ter-Petrosyan personally, however,
"this acquaintance was not so warm as that with the present president
of Armenia". N.Ryzhkov said he knows that according to the results of
public opinion polls, the Armenian Pan National Movement Party led by
Ter-Petrosyan obtained only 1% of votes. "This number is too small. I
don’t understand what forces are behind him. To become a president, one
should rely on serious public and political forces," he said.
