The goal of the party is for Armenia to become a center for collaboration among Russia, Georgia, Iran and Arab countries.[5] Babukhanyan stated that he fully supports Armenia's membership in the Eurasian Union and mentioned that "The Eurasian Union has outdone the European Union by economic indicators."[6] The party supports Armenia joining the Union State.[7] Babukhanyan is known for his Pro-Russian stance and has even called for the British Council to be banned in Armenia.[8]
