The Pan-Armenian National Movement (PANM) or Armenian Allnational Movement (Armenian: Հայոց Համազգային Շարժում, Hayots Hamazgain Sharzhum) was a political party in Armenia.
The party emerged from the resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh Autonomous Council of February 20, 1988, to reunite with Soviet Armenia. Its first meetings, which demanded reunification, were held in Yerevan on February 21, 1988. Its ruling committee led by Igor Muradyan was organized in the same month, and Levon Ter-Petrossian incorporated in the ruling body in May 1988. On June 15, 1988, under the pressure and with representation of the movement in the Armenian Supreme Soviet, this body adopted positive resolution on reunification of two national units. The PANM became the ruling party when it swept the 1990 elections. The party lost its majority when Ter-Petrossian resigned as president of the republic in 1998 and became an opposition party. It is now without parliamentary representation.
Pan-Armenian National Movement spearheaded the formation of Armenian National Congress, a wide opposition coalition of many opposition Armenian parties headed by Levon Ter-Petrossian in opposition to the ruling governmental coalition headed by Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan.
The party is led by Aram Manukyan. Since 2010 the party has been a member of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party (ALDE Party).
