ArmInfo. Arman Tatoyan, leader of the Wings of Unity initiative and former Armenian Ombudsman, presented three key principles that will underpin his political force's agenda: a strong state, a reliable security system, and a just country. He announced this at a press conference in Yerevan on November 26, ahead of the country's 2026 parliamentary elections.
In the area of foreign policy, he emphasized the importance of strengthening relations with the United States, considering it a reliable partner. He also stated his intention to reduce the country's dependence on a single market, particularly Russia, and to resolve current problems independently. "We must learn to solve our problems independently, so as not to become a country that cannot provide for its own needs," he said.
Regarding security, Tatoyan assured that strengthening it will be a top priority for his political force. He said that if elected, he plans to establish a commission that will develop a reform program in this area within six months. "Implementation of this program will begin immediately, and within five years, we will achieve a balance of power in security matters with the enemy. I am convinced that only as a strong country can we achieve true peace," the politician emphasized.
In this regard, he emphasized the need to double military spending. According to calculations by Tatoyan's political force, 8% of GDP will be allocated to security, of which 30-40% will go toward developing the military-industrial complex. "Meanwhile, these expenditures currently constitute only 0.53% of GDP, not even 1%. Moreover, developing this sector will not only ensure the country's security but will also become a priority for the economy. For example, through the export of domestic weapons," the initiative's leader explained.
Tatoyan also announced the economic program developed by his political force, which will focus on exports and social justice. Education, high technology, and the rule of law will also be a priority for his team, the initiative's leader continued. "We will strive to have a strong education system. Other areas are also subject to reform," he added.
-At the same time, Tatoyan emphasized the importance of cooperation with the diaspora on all of the above issues, recalling its enormous contribution to the country's development. "We will value their participation and support on all these issues," the politician concluded.
As a reminder, parliamentary elections in Armenia are scheduled for June 7, 2026.
