Tag: Nikol Pashinyan
Nikol Pashinyan has been a central figure in Groong’s coverage since the podcast launched. He rose to power in 2018 through a street movement that its proponents called the Velvet Revolution — though a substantial segment of Armenian political opinion views the events as a color revolution or externally influenced regime change operation rather than a spontaneous civic uprising. His time in office has been defined by Armenia’s devastating loss in the 2020 Nagorno Karabakh war, a fraught relationship with Russia, and a gradual reorientation of Armenian foreign policy toward the European Union and the United States.
Groong episodes featuring Pashinyan as a subject cover a wide range of topics: his political survival after the 2020 war, domestic opposition from the Hayastan Dashinq alliance, Armenia-Azerbaijan peace negotiations, the withdrawal of Russian peacekeepers from Nagorno Karabakh, and his government’s changing positions on CSTO membership and relations with Moscow.
