The National Democrats Union, also known as the Alliance of National Democrats (Armenian: Ազգային ժողովրդավարների միություն, romanized: Azgayin zhoghovrdavarneri miut’yun) is an Armenian political party.[4]
History
The National Democrats Union was founded on 19 May 2001 by Arshak Sadoyan. Sadoyan was a previous member of the National Democratic Union. However, Sadoyan left the National Democratic Union to subsequently establish his own party.[5]
On 25 May 2003, Arshak Sadoyan was elected a deputy of the National Assembly by the proportional list of the Justice electoral coalition, following the 2003 Armenian parliamentary election. Sadoyan was a member of the Justice coalition.[6]
The party stated its intention to participate in the 2012 Armenian parliamentary elections, however, the party ultimately failed to register.[7]
The party chose not to participate in the 2017 Armenian parliamentary election due to financial constraints.[8][9] Prior to the 2018 Armenian parliamentary election, the party announced that it would be open to the idea of creating a new political alliance with other parties, however, the National Democrats Union ultimately did not participate.[10] The party endorsed Armen Sarksyan for the presidency.[11]
The party announced its intentions to participate in the 2021 Armenian parliamentary elections as part of the Free Homeland Alliance.[12][13] Following the election, the alliance won just 0.32% of the popular vote, failing to win any seats in the National Assembly. Currently, the party acts as an extra-parliamentary force.
Arshak Sadoyan stated his opposition to either Nikol Pashinyan or Robert Kocharyan from becoming prime minister.[14]
Ideology
The party supports increased involvement of the Armenian Diaspora in the economic development of Armenia.[15] The party also supports developing a modernized military, increasing wages, allowing the Armenian Diaspora to vote in national elections from abroad, and encourages the self-determination of Artsakh.[14][16]
