Levon Ter-Petrosian turned to the Constitutional Court of Armenia with
a request to recognize as `insuperable the obstacles, which arose on
the way of his participation in the elections of February 19′. The

participation of Ter-Petrosian in the electoral processes impossible
for reasons not depending on him’.
