Armenia's Velvet Revolution

Author(s): Miriam Lanskoy, and Elspeth Suthers

In: Journal of Democracy, Vol 30, No 2, 2019, pp. 85-99

The authors, both from the National Endowment for Democracy, note that political revolution in other post-Soviet states have been followed by 'back sliding'. But they note how Armenia differs from Georgia and Ukraine. After exploring the background and context of the 2018 revolution, they conclude with a relatively optimistic assessment of the prospects for the Pashinyan government after the December 2018 election.
