History

It is one of the three Communist parties currently authorized in Armenia. However, the party has never had representation in the National Assembly.

Prior to the 2012 Armenian parliamentary election, it was rumored that the party would form a political alliance with the Armenian Communist Party. Party leaders aimed at restoring the wealth and success of Armenia during Soviet times and were in favor of free education and medical care. Although negotiations were held between the two parties, the Armenian Communist Party decided to run alone in the 2012 elections and the United Communist Party decided not to participate.[1]
