The Union of Armenians of Romania (Template:Lang-ro, UAR; Armenian: Ռումինիայի հայերի միություն, Ṙowminiayi հayeri miowt̕yown) is an ethnic minority political party in Romania representing the Armenian community.
History
The UAR contested the 1990 general elections, and despite receiving only 399 votes (0.003%),[1] it won a single seat in the Chamber of Deputies under the electoral law that allows for political parties representing ethnic minority groups to be exempt from the electoral threshold. It has won a seat in every election since.
