Hayazn (Armenian: Հայազն) is an Armenian nationalist political party, that was founded as a civil organization in 2009. It declared itself a political party in 2013 and was registered as such in 2014.
Hayazn had stated its opposition to Armenia's possible integration into the European Union or to the Eurasian Customs Union that included at the time a customs union of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia]]. Hayazn had also called on the Armenian government to opt out of the European Neighbourhood Policy in the past.
Hayazn also opposes any official recognition by Armenia of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. Instead Hayazn supports the actual unification of the Nagorno-Karabakh areas as an integral part of the Republic of Armenia, turning Karabakh into an additional Armenian province within the borders of an expanded Armenian Republic.
Hayazn also advocates in case of a war between Armenia and Azerbaijan, to "liberate" historical Armenian provinces of Gandzak and Nakhitchevan, presently within the territorial areas of Azerbaijan.
In internal affairs, Hayazn is opposed to Serzh Sargsyan's government and has condemned its internal and foreign policies, in particular the way it handles the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict within the OSCE Minsk Group. The party called for a "no" vote in the 2015 constitutional referendum
Although Hayazn was not registered as a political party, and couldn't legally participate in the 2012 parliamentary election, but nonetheless it refused to participate. It blamed mainstream opposition parties (Armenian Revolutionary Federation, Armenian National Congress, Heritage) for not being "pro-people", and the government for electoral fraud which resulted in the formation of, what they call, an illegitimate government.
