Christian-Democratic Rebirth Party is a Christian democratic political party in Armenia, founded on September 15, 2018.

History

The party was founded during a ceremony held in Yerevan on September 15, 2018.

The party did participate in the 2018 Armenian parliamentary election, however the party received just 0.51% percent of the popular vote and failed to gain any political representation in the National Assembly.[6] The party had nominated 82 candidates to run in the election across the country.[7]

Following the election results, the party pledged to support the elected government of Nikol Pashinyan but that it would also act as an extra-parliamentary force to ensure that democratic principals are upheld in the country.[8]

Ideology

The party supported the developments of the 2018 Armenian revolution and aimed to strengthen the results of the revolution by establishing a new political party, based on Christian morals and democratic values.[9] During a press statement, Levon Shirinyan stated, "We want to develop the cultural values of the country and revive the Armenian high culture."[10]

The parties chairman also stated that the principal ideology will be a combination of both socialism and conservatism, while strongly opposing liberalism. Shirinyan stated, "In the 1990s, we had communistic extremism and now we have liberalism. Both are dangerous, both direct to nowhere."[11]

In terms of economics, the party advocates for a strong social market economy and a revival of the industrial sector.[12][13]

In regards to foreign policy, the party does not wish to align completely with either Russia or the West.[14] The party is opposed to the Russification of Armenia. Rather, party leaders advocate towards maintaining neutrality and developing a mutually beneficial relationship with Russia.[15]
