**Hayazn** ([Armenian](/source/Armenian_language): Հայազն) is an [Armenian](/source/Armenia) nationalist [political party](/source/Political_party), that was founded as a civil organization in 2009.[5] It declared itself a political party in 2013 and was registered as such in 2014.[6]

## Ideology

Hayazn has stated its opposition to Armenia's possible [integration](/source/European_integration) into the [European Union](/source/European_Union) or to the [Eurasian Customs Union](/source/Eurasian_Customs_Union) (which included at the time a customs union of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia).[7] Hayazn has also called on the [Government of Armenia](/source/Government_of_Armenia) to opt out of the [European Neighbourhood Policy](/source/European_Neighbourhood_Policy) in the past.[8]

Hayazn opposes any official recognition by Armenia of the [Artsakh Republic](/source/Artsakh_Republic). Instead, Hayazn supports the unification of the Artsakh Republic as an integral part of Armenia, turning Artsakh into an additional Armenian province within the borders of an expanded Armenian Republic.[9][10]

In internal affairs, Hayazn was opposed to [Serzh Sargsyan](/source/Serzh_Sargsyan)'s government and has condemned its internal and foreign policies, in particular the way it handled the [Nagorno-Karabakh conflict](/source/Nagorno-Karabakh_conflict) within the [OSCE Minsk Group](/source/OSCE_Minsk_Group).[11] The party called for a "no" vote in the [2015 constitutional referendum](/source/2015_Armenian_constitutional_referendum).[12]

## Activities

Although Hayazn was not registered as a political party, and couldn't legally participate in the [2012 parliamentary election](/source/2012_Armenian_parliamentary_election), the party nonetheless refused to participate.[13] It blamed mainstream opposition parties ([Armenian Revolutionary Federation](/source/Armenian_Revolutionary_Federation), [Armenian National Congress](/source/Armenian_National_Congress), [Heritage](/source/Heritage_(Armenia))) for not being "pro-people", and the government for electoral fraud which resulted in the formation of, what they call, an illegitimate government.[14]

In June 2011, the party started to collect signatures for granting citizenship of [Jirair Sefilian](/source/Jirair_Sefilian), a Lebanese-born Armenian military commander of the [First Nagorno-Karabakh War](/source/First_Nagorno-Karabakh_War). More than 4,000 signatures were gathered.[15] However, the relationship with Sefilian deteriorated, when on 2 September 2013 Hayazn members reportedly attacked and beat-up Varuszhan Avetisyan, the press secretary and member of the [Pre-Parliament](/source/Pre-Parliament_(Armenia)).[16]

On 1 September 2012, Hayazn organized a protest during which several of its members burnt the [Hungarian flag](/source/Hungarian_flag) as an act of protest against [Ramil Safarov](/source/Ramil_Safarov)'s release to Azerbaijan.[17] They also demanded the resignation of the Foreign Minister [Eduard Nalbandyan](/source/Eduard_Nalbandyan).[18][19]

On 21 May 2012, Hayazn organized a parallel march in opposition to a "Diversity march" organized by the [LGBT](/source/LGBT) community of Armenia. The march was stopped prematurely, because LGBT activists were afraid of their safety.[20] On 10 October 2012, Hayazn organized a protest in front of [Germany](/source/Germany)'s embassy in Yerevan protesting against the presentation of the film *[The Parade](/source/The_Parade_(film))* about gay activism in [Serbia](/source/Serbia). The party stated that they would not tolerate "propaganda of immorality".[21] During anti-Putin protests on 2 December 2013, several members of Hayazn attacked LGBT rights activist and demanded that they do not fly the [Rainbow flag](/source/Rainbow_flag) during the protests.[22]

Throughout spring 2013, Hayazn was a vocal opponent of leasing land in the [Syunik Province](/source/Syunik_Province) to [Iranian](/source/Iran) pastures.[23]

Hayazn took an active role in the [2013 anti-government protests](/source/2013_Armenian_protests). On 2 December 2013, along with several other political parties, they took to the streets to protest [Russia](/source/Russia)'s president [Vladimir Putin](/source/Vladimir_Putin)'s visit to Armenia and Serzh Sargsyan's decision to join the [Customs Union of Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Russia](/source/Customs_Union_of_Belarus%2C_Kazakhstan%2C_and_Russia).[7]

The party did not participate in the [2018 Armenian parliamentary election](/source/2018_Armenian_parliamentary_election).
