Ideology The alliance was opposed to any political cooperation with Nikol Pashinyan or Robert Kocharyan. The alliance proposed to shift Armenia's geopolitical alignment towards Europe and the West and called for Armenia to enter a political and military alliance with France. The alliance believes that Armenian laws and legislation should be synced with European standards. During an interview on 15 June 2021, Andrias Ghukasyan stated that Russia is no longer an ally of Armenia and that Armenia should develop closer relations with the European Union and the United States.https://infocom.am/hy/Article/57226 I am competitive with Kocharyan և Pashinyan.
