Opis

In the course of the past ten years, there has been a significant change in the roles, perceptions and practices of key human rights actors in Armenia. There has been a rise in civic, rights and legal consciousness among the citizens. This has, in turn, led to frequent outbreaks of protests and the 2018 Velvet Revolution.
