Talk:2018 Armenian Revolution

Question

What is the political stance and expected change to come from the new power change, and is it in fact a Revolution or simply a regime change? Armand Bogossian (talk) 06:49, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

Nonsensical image caption

"Oppositional signals spark the flag of Armenia, clamoring for the motto of the movement on 12 April, 2018"

What does that mean? That's not even a sentence. I'm guessing it's due to difficult Armenian->English translation, but that sentence doesn't make any sense. BrendonTheWizard (talk) 23:07, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Reason?

What's the cause of the protests? Why do they want him gone? CsikosLo (talk) 13:34, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Proposing article name modification

I propose changing the article name from 2018 Armenian protests to 2018 Armenian revolution Rationale is that sources are now referring to it as one Cheers! BrendonTheWizard (talk) 15:32, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

I am against this as I don't think a revolution has really happened. Sargsyan resigned, that's all. The ruling party is still in power with a majority in parliament, the acting prime minister (also from the ruling party) is the guy who was prime minister until Sargsyan was nominated. To be a revolution I believe the entire government would have to change, a la the colour revolutions that took place in Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan and Georgia. If the protests lead to snap elections and the ruling party changes, then I think it could be called a revolution. YantarCoast (talk) 19:58, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Your point is well-made. I think it is enough to simply mention in-text that sources have described it as a revolution comparable to colour revolutions without actually changing the infobox or article title. I withdraw my nomination and instead support the inclusion of its description as one (similar to 2016 Macedonian protests noting that it was described by some as a revolution despite only concessions that don't truly replace the government).
