The Armenian Democratic Liberal Party (Armenian: Ռամկավար Ազատական Կուսակցութիւն, romanized: Ramgavar Azadagan Gusagtsutyun; ՌԱԿ / ADL), often called the Ramgavar Party, is a political party in the Armenian diaspora including the Middle East, Europe, the Americas and Australia.
It was established in Constantinople in 1921 as a result of the unification of four political parties: the Armenakan Party, the Liberal Party of the Reformed Hunchakians, the Armenian Constitutional Democratic Party (1907–1921), which had acted within the frame of constitutionalism in the Ottoman Empire, and the Armenian Populist Party.
The party established its main headquarters in Egypt and later Lebanon, with branches in Syria, Greece, France, the United States, Canada, and Argentina.
In 1991, the Democratic Liberal Party of Armenia was founded in Armenia as a local counterpart to the Ramgavar Party of the diaspora. Various rifts within the party caused the formation of rival Armenakan-Democratic Liberal Party in 2009. Both parties were then unified in 2012 under the name "Democratic Liberal Party (Armenia)".
On 3 March 1872, 46 Armenians came together to form the "Union of Salvation" (not to be confused with the Russian Union of Salvation). The organization declared "Gone is our honor; our churches have been violated; they kidnapped our brides and our youth; they have taken away our rights and try to exterminate our nation.." On 26 April 1872, villages around Van sent a request, "In order to save ourselves from these evils, we are prepared to follow you even if we must shed blood or die. We are ready to go wherever... If the alternative to our present condition is to become Russified, let us be Russified together; if it is to be emigration, let us emigrate; if we are to die, let us die." These Russian organizations had goals to liberate the Ottoman Armenians from the Ottoman Empire. The Union of Salvation served a major step toward the formation of the first Armenian political party, the Armenakan.
The Armenakan Party was established in Van by Mekertich Portukalian, Setrak Gabudian, and Hampig Der Hampartsoumian in 1885 as an underground organization against the ruling system. It was classified as a party based on the fact that it developed a platform, a central body, and an official publication.
The founders of the Armenakan party, Mekertich Portukalian, Setrak Gabudian, and Hampig Der Hampartsoumian kept in touch with the leaders, and published a journal of political and social enlightenment, "Armenia". Portukalian is also cited as the father of the Armenian Patriotic Society of Europe.
After Mekertich Portukalian, the Armenians of Van continued to develop the political principles behind Armenian nationalism, in secrecy. The party's main misconception was that enemies of the Ottoman Empire would intervene and rescue the Armenian people throughout the period 1885–1918.
