Listen "Armenia's new leadership: How did we get here?"
Episode Synopsis
Armenia is in a state of transition. Peaceful protests led by Nikol Pashinyan have dislodged Serzh Sargsyan from his seat of power, and suddenly the country looks poised for dramatic change. Is this a grassroots movement, or are outside forces pulling the strings? What's the role of social media in all this? And why now, exactly? To take stock of these fast moving developments, we're joined by FSI's Sarah Shirazyan and Yeghishe Kirakosyan of the Stanford Law School for perspective and what to watch as the story unfolds.
