[edit] Introduction

In the struggle for independence at the turn of the nineteenth to the twentieth century a national liberal current arose. Though there were some attempts to refound this current after 1990, these attempts were unsuccessful. Traditional liberalism doesn't play a role in Armenia any more, but the Republican Party of Armenia (Hayastani Hanrapetakan Kusaktsutyun, not included below) joined the ELDR group in the Council of Europe.
