| Summary / Abstract (Note) | ARMENIA experienced events in April and May 2018 that have been dubbed a "velvet revolution" and resulted in the radical replacement of political elites. The government of President Serzh Sargsyan was forced to resign, and the leader of the protest movement, opposition parliamentary deputy Nikol Pashinyan, was elected prime minister. This has given rise to serious worries about the future of Russian-Armenian relations despite numerous assurances by Armenia's new leadership that there were no geopolitics behind the change of government. |
