The Generation of Independence Party (Armenian: Անկախության Սերունդ կուսակցություն) is an Armenian political party in Artsakh.

## History[edit]

The Generation of Independence Party was established on 11 August 2018. Its founder and current party leader is Ruslan Israelyan.[2][3]

In August 2019, it was announced that Israelyan would run for the presidency of Artsakh during a party congress and that he would lead the party in the 2020 Artsakhian general election.[4][5]

## Ideology[edit]

The party advocates for the unification of Artsakh and Armenia, and the establishment of a United Armenia.[6] Domestically, the party advocates for further economic development of Artsakh, respecting human and civil rights, improving education and fighting corruption.[7]

Israelyan has also called for Artsakh to be included in any future peace talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan regarding the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.[8]

## Electoral record[edit]

Following the 2020 election, the party gained just 0.50% of the votes after the first round of voting, failing to qualify for the second round. The party failed to gain any seats in the National Assembly and currently acts as an extra-parliamentary force.
