The United Platform of Democratic Forces (Armenian: Ժողովրդավարական ուժերի միացյալ հարթակ, romanized: Zhoghovrdavarakan uzheri miats’yal hart’ak) is a political alliance of four extra-parliamentary political parties in Armenia. It was established on 14 May 2024 and is headquartered in Yerevan.[1]
History
The alliance was established during the 2024 Armenian protests. The leaders of the four political parties held a founding meeting in Yerevan on 14 May 2024.[2] It was decided to create a platform for democratic forces within the country.[3] Participants of the meeting called for the strengthening of Armenia's independence and sovereignty, the continued European integration of the country, and for the government of Armenia to submit an EU candidacy application.[4]
On 21 June 2024, the alliance organized and participated in a hearing in the National Assembly regarding holding a referendum on the submission of Armenia's EU candidacy application. The alliance, as well as, several dozen organizations and NGO's signed a document calling on Armenian authorities to hold a national referendum within the next four months.[5] Representatives of the Helsinki Citizens' Assembly–Vanadzor, the Conservative Party, Young European Ambassadors, the Armenian Democratic Liberal Party, the Armenian National Platform of the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum, among others signed the document.[6] During the hearing, Arman Babajanyan, Chairman of the For The Republic Party placed the Flag of Europe over the podium in the National Assembly and stated, "Conducting this referendum will help deepen relations not only with the EU, but also with the USA."
Ideology
The alliance supports Armenia's integration into Euro-Atlantic structures, including pursuing full membership in the European Union and NATO. The alliance supports fighting any threats from Russia which threaten the autonomy of Armenia and calls for the country to withdraw from all Russian-led organizations including the CSTO and the Eurasian Economic Union. The alliance also believes in tackling corruption in Armenia, protecting human rights and democracy, as well as, finalizing a peace treaty with Azerbaijan and demarcating the Armenia–Azerbaijan border.[7]
Leadership
Key members of the alliance include:
- Aram Sargsyan- Chairman of the Hanrapetutyun Party
- Tigran Khzmalyan- Chairman of the European Party of Armenia
- Arman Babajanyan- Chairman of the For the Republic Party
