The Armenian National Congress (Armenian: Հայ Ազգային Կոնգրես, romanized: Hay Azgayin Kongres) is an Armenian political party led by former president Levon Ter-Petrosyan and was formed in 2008. Its direct predecessor was the Pan-Armenian National Movement. It is often abbreviated as ՀԱԿ or HAK, in keeping with its Armenian spelling, but it is occasionally referred to as the ANC in English, including on its official website.
From 2008 to 2013, it was a coalition of 13 opposition parties. In 2013, when certain member parties left the Pan-Armenian National Movement, the remainder of the organization collectively decided to form a new political party called the Armenian National Congress.[4][5] The ANC currently does not maintain any representation within the National Assembly and acts as an extra-parliamentary force.
The party maintains a youth wing known as ANC Youth, which is a full member of the European Liberal Youth organization. The youth wing is governed by the ANC Youth Congress, which itself is a member of the International Federation of Liberal Youth.[6]
