Nikol Pashinyan

Nikol Pashinyan

Nikol Pashinyan has served as the Prime Minister of Armenia since May 2018. Before entering politics, he was a prominent journalist and editor, known for his investigative reporting and opposition to the government. His political career began as an activist, leading to his arrest and imprisonment for his role in post-election protests in 2008. Pashinyan later became a member of the Armenian Parliament, where he continued to advocate for democratic reforms and anti-corruption measures. He rose to international prominence during the 2018 Armenian Velvet Revolution, a series of widespread peaceful protests that led to the resignation of then-Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan and Pashinyan's subsequent election to the position.

As Prime Minister, Pashinyan has focused on combating corruption, reforming the judiciary, and improving the country's economic indicators. His tenure has also been significantly shaped by regional conflicts, particularly the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Relations with Azerbaijan, a key neighbor, remain complex and are frequently covered in news regarding the South Caucasus region.
