However, he applied for citizenship in 1991, but both Ter-Petrossian and Kocharian refused to grant him it until the latter did ten years later. The law says that only citizens who have permanently resided in the country for 5 years can run for parliament and 10 years for president.

I know he was disqualified this round (rightly or wrongly), but when would he be clearly able to run? He certainly has been very active raising his profile both internationally and nationally so it would be good for all of us to know what his real goals might be.
