the "Sahmanadir Ramkavars" (Constituent Democratic Party) joined forces to form together the Democratic Liberal Party (also known as () () or Ramkavar Party). The majority of the membership of the Armenakan Party was absorbed into the new party. Ideology The Ramgavar party advocates liberalism and capitalism, unlike the other two classical Armenian political parties, the Social Democrat Hunchakian Party and the Armenian Revolutionary Federation, which both maintain the leftist ideologies. The current numbers of the party are minimal compared to other traditional parties in the diaspora and Armenia. Subsequently, due to this situation a debate has been initated over the existence of the party. Party member Unger Garabed Manushian has called for reform or disbandment of the party, "We, the Ramgavars, today are at a focal point of our history. We have no presence in Armenia and insignificant role in the Diaspora. We must start a process of reforming the party, its ideology, and its activities if we want to exist in the next 10 years. If we do not choose this course, then we must admit to ourselves that our party has come to an end."
