History
The alliance was formed during the 2020–2021 Armenian protests. Both the Republican Party and the Homeland Party were previous members of the Homeland Salvation Movement and called on Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to resign following Armenia's defeat in the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war.[5] Both parties subsequently left the Homeland Salvation Movement to form the I Have Honor alliance.[6][7]
The alliance had confirmed that they would participate in the 2021 Armenian parliamentary elections.[8] Artur Vanetsyan was nominated to lead the alliance.[9] Following the election, the alliance won 5.22% of the popular vote, gaining 6 seats in the National Assembly.
On 21 June 2022, Artur Vanetsyan announced that he was withdrawing the Homeland Party from the I Have Honor alliance, effectively dissolving the alliance.[4]
