Did Armenia’s 2018 Velvet Revolution upset the geopolitical architecture of the region?

Nerses Kopalyan, professor of political science at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, sits down with CivilNet as Armenia marks five years since the Velvet Revolution that catapulted Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to power. Kopalyan argues that the events of 2018 were not a color revolution, despite similarities with the Georgian and Ukrainian revolutions of the early 2000s. Kopalyan also discusses the main points of improvement in Armenia since the change in government and examines the widespread grievances that led to the revolution five years ago.
