Political career

In the Armenian parliamentary elections of December 2020 Grigoryan was elected as a member of the Armenian Parliament representing the My Step alliance. But the same month she left the My Step alliance, while keeping her seat in parliament.[2] [3] As an independent MP she opposed the Government of Nikol Pashinyan and demanded a stronger support for the people in Artsakh against Turkey and Azerbaijan.[4]

In May 2021 she joined the Reviving Armenia party[5] which she deemed to better represent the Syunik Province after the war in Nagorno Karabakh than the current Armenian Government.[6] She voiced a strong support for the self determination of the people in Artsakh.[7] She took part in the parliamentary elections of 2021 nominated on a ticket of the Armenia Alliance led by Robert Kocharyan.[8] In January 2022, she questioned the abilities of the human rights delegate of Armenia Kristine Grigoryan and deemed her of rather being a defender of the Civil Contract party.[9]

She is a participant in the 2022 Armenian protests.[10]
