The Democratic Party of Artsakh (DPA) is a political party in the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh. It was founded on 30 January 2005. Before that, in 2000-2005 there was an acting socio-political organization called the "Democratic Artsakh Union". The Chairman of the party is Ashot Ghoulyan who is also the President of the National Assembly. Following the results of the parliamentary elections of 19 June 2005, DPA won the most electoral votes and formed the "Democracy" faction in the National Assembly. As a result of the elections to the National Assembly of the 5th convocation, the faction was reformed with 10 members. After the Parliamentary elections of 3 May 2015, Democratic Party of Artsakh reformed its faction with 6 members (4 MPs were elected by a proportional system, 2 MPs by a majoritarian system).
The DPA stands for stability and natural development of events. A powerful state, democracy, civil society, human beings with personal freedom and protection, family, work, and social justice are in the list of the party values. Political pragmatism is the DPA ideology.
The Main Goals of the DPA are:
On the question of the settlement of the Karabakh conflict, the party states in its charter that it supports "the reinstatement of the right of the people of the NKR to self-determination through the peaceful negotiations within the borders and with a security system acceptable to [them]."
On 17 April 2015 Democratic Party of Artsakh was elected as an associated member of the European Free Alliance. On 2 September 2015 the DPA leader Ashot Ghoulyan and European Free Alliance president François Alfonsi signed a Declaration on Cooperation in Stepanakert.
