Armenia's 250,000 Person Revolution, Explained

Last April, Armenia had a bloodless revolution to declare the resignation of their previous President turned Prime Minister, Serzh Sargsyan. Opposition leader and current Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan led these peaceful demonstrations. Pashinyan and his supporters called for a more democratic governmental system in Armenia.

Our team traveled to Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, to interview Nikol Pashinyan about what comes next for the country. We also spoke with citizens about their thoughts on post-revolution Armenia.

Thay made it seem like serj was the only reasom ppl went out to protest infact serj was the last drop to make ppl protest corruption in Armenia was at a WHOLE another level worse then Russia our old president has more money then the entire GDP of Amenia the amount of art and history they scraped and sold just to make a bit more money, the amount of money given to us by other countries and rich Armenians who live outside of Armenia gone directly to there pockets without a trace and there a lots of more reasons ppl had enough, serj's 10year rule is just the tip of the iceberg

[tigxach]

Nikol Pashinyan Naira Zohrabyan Edmon Marukyan and Mane Tandilyan are best ministers whenever.

[augustine]

While I like Armenia, they are just like Israel, Armenia for Armenians and that will never change. It's good though, their culture stays pure and not tainted like others have allowed their cultures to get.

[naimma]

All those usefull young people. :) They changed a pro russiam gov to a pro west gov. And because of that, in two years, Armenia lost Nagorno. At the protest, Those first lines of girls and boyz have some blood on their hands. Manipulation + lack of education + khardashianism = present

[bagondreamer]

Armenia: let’s hold a 250000 person protest
Hong Kong: hold my beer
