Last updated: May 29, 2026
Hayastan Dashinq — the Armenia Alliance — is the principal opposition coalition in Armenian politics, led by former President Robert Kocharyan. The alliance brings together Kocharyan’s political bloc with the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF/Dashnaktsutyun) and other parties. It holds a consistently patriotic and nationalistic foreign policy orientation, and has been the most vocal opposition force against the Pashinyan government’s peace negotiations with Azerbaijan.
The alliance competed in the 2021 parliamentary elections and is registered to compete in the June 7, 2026 elections as one of the two alliances in the race. Groong episodes covering Hayastan Dashinq examine its internal dynamics, its positions on the Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh) conflict and the right of return for displaced Armenians, its relationship with Russia and the CSTO, and its electoral strategy as the best-organized opposition force heading into the 2026 vote.
