The Artsakh Republican Party was established on 17 May 2015 during a party conference held in Stepanakert.[1] The party declared itself a centre-right party with a liberal outlook which supports the development of democracy, human rights, and equality in Artsakh. The party also seeks to develop a strong and secure state, while seeking international recognition of the country.[1][2][3]

Founders of the party include Karen Ohanjanyan, Chairman of the Social Justice Party and Ararat Petrosyan, Chairman of the Armenia is Our Home party.[4][5] Party leaders announced that the party has no connection with the Republican Party of Armenia, a political party with the same name operating in Armenia.[6][7]
