The **Armenian Constructive Party**, sometimes known as the **Armenian Construction Party** ([Armenian](/source/Armenian_language): Հայկական կառուցողական կուսակցություն, [romanized](/source/Romanization_of_Armenian): *Haykakan karruts’voghakan kusakts’ut’yun*) is a [liberal](/source/Liberalism)[2] [political party](/source/List_of_political_parties_in_Armenia) in [Armenia](/source/Armenia). The party was established in July 2018 and is currently led by [Andrias Ghukasyan](/source/Andrias_Ghukasyan).[3][4]

## History

The party was established prior to the [2018 Armenian parliamentary election](/source/2018_Armenian_parliamentary_election), with the intent to participate and support the goals of the [2018 Armenian revolution](/source/2018_Armenian_revolution).[5] However, the party ultimately did not participate and does not have representation within the [National Assembly](/source/National_Assembly_of_Armenia). The party currently acts as an [extra-parliamentary](/source/Extra-parliamentary_opposition) force.

During the [2020–2021 Armenian protests](/source/2020%E2%80%932021_Armenian_protests), Andrias Ghukasyan called on Prime Minister [Nikol Pashinyan](/source/Nikol_Pashinyan) to resign and for Armenia to recognize the independence of [Artsakh](/source/Republic_of_Artsakh).[6]

The Armenian Constructive Party confirmed that it would participate in the [2021 Armenian parliamentary elections](/source/2021_Armenian_parliamentary_election) as part of the [Free Homeland Alliance](/source/Free_Homeland_Alliance).[7] Following the election, the Free Homeland Alliance received just 0.32% of the popular vote, failing to win any seats in the National Assembly.

## Ideology

Alternate logo of the party.

The party advocates for fighting corruption, upholding free and fair elections, lowering taxes, criminal justice reform, and establishing a legitimate [democracy](/source/Democracy) in Armenia. The party had accused both the [My Step Alliance](/source/My_Step_Alliance) and the parties of the [Homeland Salvation Movement](/source/Homeland_Salvation_Movement) of being unable to govern the country. Andrias Ghukasyan has also warned of increasing Russian influence over Armenian politicians. Following the [2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war](/source/2020_Nagorno-Karabakh_war), Ghukasyan accused [Russia](/source/Russia) of intentionally dividing up Armenian lands.[8][9][10]

## Activities

On 19 February 2019, the party held a joint conference with the [National Progress Party of Armenia](/source/National_Progress_Party_of_Armenia). The leaders of both parties called for constitutional reform in Armenia.[11]

In November 2020, Andrias Ghukasyan along with the leaders of the [Democratic Party of Armenia](/source/Democratic_Party_of_Armenia) and the [Citizen's Decision](/source/Citizen's_Decision) Party met with President [Armen Sargsyan](/source/Armen_Sargsyan) to discuss the political situation in Armenia and the [Nagorno-Karabakh conflict](/source/Nagorno-Karabakh_conflict).[12]

On 26 February 2021, the party released a statement along with the [Democratic Homeland Party](/source/Democratic_Homeland_Party) and the [Conservative Party](/source/Conservative_Party_(Armenia)), condemning the signing of the [2020 Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire agreement](/source/2020_Nagorno-Karabakh_ceasefire_agreement). The three parties called for an end to Russian-Turkish interference in Armenia and Artsakh.[13]

On 15 April 2021, the party signed a joint declaration with eight other political parties calling on the president of Armenia to ensure democracy and the [Constitution of Armenia](/source/Constitution_of_Armenia) is upheld in the country, during the [2020–2021 Armenian protests](/source/2020%E2%80%932021_Armenian_protests).[14]
