An Armenian Revolution?
Armenian Politics has an interesting first post on the post-election protests staged by supporters of former president, Levon Ter-Petrossian. The new blog asks has the “revolution” failed or is it merely a work in progress?
So, the ruling regime has not changed. In this sense the opposition leaders have failed. But does this mean that the political system will stay the same? Or in other words, does this mean that “the Armenian revolution” failed. Not necessarily. I believe that in the months to come we will be witnessing dramatic changes in terms of political system. It is hard to say whether these changes will also be accompanied by personal changes in the government. May be yes, maybe not. However, even if Serzh Sarkissian and members of his team retain their positions of authority, the political system, in which they operated during the previous decade, might change dramatically.
