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]
