Public Voice Party

The Public Voice party was established on 6 August 2022 and Vardan Ghukasyan was unanimously elected as the party's chairman during a party congress held in Yerevan.[4] The party announced intentions to form political cooperation with the Alliance Party.[5] The party does not currently maintain any representation in the National Assembly and acts as an extra-parliamentary force.

On 18 November 2022, the headquarters of the party were broken into and splashed with white paint.[6][2][7]

In April 2023, three members of the party were arrested and public criminal prosecution was initiated against Vardan Ghukasyan and Artak Galstyan, the main figureheads of the party, for committing extortion within the group.[8][9] Artak Galstyan, the chairman of the Public Voice board, was set to participate in mayoral elections for the city of Yerevan.[10] However, criminal investigations are on-going.[11]

The party believes in uniting Artsakh with Armenia, increasing security of the country, tackling corruption, improving social justice and the rule of law, and protecting rights of national minorities. The party also supports strengthening democratic institutions in the country, implementing electoral reform, and supporting the economy.[4]
