YEREVAN — Armenia’s second president, Robert Kocharyan, will lead the “Armenia” Alliance in the 2026 parliamentary elections. On March 16, the alliance presented its electoral format and announced its candidate for prime minister.
Kocharyan, together with the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF), has decided to continue their cooperation, joined by the “Forward” Party, led by Sevak Khachatryan. The parties will participate in the upcoming elections under the “Armenia” Alliance banner.
“I have been in this struggle since the very first day they came to power, and I will not stop until they are removed,” Kocharyan stated, emphasizing what he sees as a key distinction from other candidates.
The alliance’s primary goal is to prevent the reproduction of the current government, with no other targets within the opposition field.
“This is not just another election—it is an existential issue. Our goal is to break this chain of concessions,” said Ishkhan Saghatelyan, a representative of the ARF Supreme Body and a member of parliament.
