The Armenian Populist Party (Armenian: Հայ Ժողովրդական Կուսակցություն) was a political party founded in March 1917 in Russian Armenia. Its members had previously belonged to the Russian Kadet party. The Populists had a liberal programme and drew their support from middle-class Armenians in Tbilisi and Baku.[1]
History[edit]
The Populists had 43 of the 204 representatives in the Armenian National Congress of October 1917[2] and two of the 15 seats in the subsequent Armenian National Council.[3]
