The opposition Homeland Party announced the launch of a process to form a political alliance with the former ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) to jointly run in the snap parliamentary elections supposed to be held on June 20.

At a news conference on Saturday, Homeland Party spokesman Sos Hakobyan read out a statement made by the party’s council.

"Taking into account the geopolitical and internal political challenges facing the Republic of Armenia;

“Based on the imperative to oust the destructive and defeatist regime that considers itself in power in Armenia today;

“Guided by the determination to organize the struggle for the homeland in a cooperative atmosphere and the readiness to cooperate with the national forces;

“Noting that the Homeland Party has paved the way for other ideological and national forces through its relentless and radical struggle;

“And finally, based on the conviction that this struggle is for a secure and dignified future for Armenia and Artsakh, the council of the Homeland Party decided to run in the possible snap parliamentary elections and to start a process of forming an alliance with the Republican Party of Armenia.

“Realizing that in this crisis broad public consolidation against the destructive and defeatist regime is a vital necessity, we are convinced that through the formation of this bloc we will realize the will and dream of our people and nation,” the statement read. 

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
