Serzh Sargsyan served as President of Armenia from 2008 to 2018 and as Prime Minister and Defense Minister before that. His attempt in April 2018 to remain in power by transitioning to a newly empowered prime ministerial role triggered the mass street protests that brought Nikol Pashinyan to power — events whose proponents called the Velvet Revolution, but which a significant portion of Armenian political opinion views as a color revolution or regime change operation rather than a spontaneous popular uprising.
Sargsyan leads the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), which governed the country for much of the post-Soviet period. Groong episodes covering Sargsyan examine his political legacy, the 2020 Nagorno Karabakh war’s relationship to decisions made during his presidency, his continued role in opposition politics, and the RPA’s position in the evolving landscape ahead of the June 2026 elections .
