Few events in modern Armenian history have generated as much excitement world-wide as the Velvet Revolution in 2018, led by Nikol Pashinyan. Peacefully ushering out a corrupt regime and promising reforms and increased democratization, Armenia appeared as an exception to a global trend towards authoritarianism.

This distinguished panel will present the publication Armenia's Velvet Revolution as well as discuss the promise and the peril facing Armenia’s democratic consolidation, in light of the new post-war realities in the country and the region.
