Armenia’s peaceful revolution yields new leader
On-the-ground reporting from the Armenian revolution in 2018
Armenia’s parliament voted in favour of a new prime minister on Tuesday (8 May) as the ‘love and solidarity revolution’ peacefully put the Caucasus republic’s opposition party in power.
Over the past month, mass public protests in Armenia, centred in the capital Yerevan, have managed to unseat former long-time president and would-be prime minister Serzh Sargsyan and install his political opponent Nikol Pashinyan as interim leader.
