The party held its founding congress on 6 February 2021 and it is led by Hayk Babukhanyan. The party does not have any political representation within the
National Assembly and currently acts as an
extra-parliamentary force. Following the
2020–2021 Armenian protests, the party confirmed that it would participate in the
2021 Armenian parliamentary elections, but ultimately the party failed to register. Hayk Babukhanyan held a meeting with Mher Mesropyan, leader of the
Voice of the Nation Party. The leaders discussed possible cooperation between the two parties. Representatives from the
Constitutional Rights Union and the
National Unity Party were also present and endorsed the creation of a
political alliance. All four parties called for greater integration between Armenia and Russia, while also supporting closer ties between
Artsakh and Russia. On 13 April 2021, the Towards Russia Party, the Voice of the Nation Party, and the Constitutional Rights Union officially announced the formation of a political alliance named "New Union". Meanwhile, the
Alliance Party initially supported the "New Union" alliance, but opted not to join. ==Ideology==
