The streets of Armenia are hot with protests, as several military generals and hundreds of protesters are demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan over his handling of last year’s deadly conflict in the Nagorno-Karabakh region.

But will that be enough to calm the opposition and keep himself in office?

In this episode:

Richard Giragosian, director of the Regional Studies Center, an independent think tank in Armenia’s capital.
