GAYANE NOVIKOVA TO ANALYZE ARMENIA’S
ELECTIONS AND `BAREVOLUTION’ IN NAASR LECTURE
Dr. Gayane Novikova will give a lecture entitled `The Presidential
Election and `BaREvolution’: Recent Developments in Armenia Through
the Prism of Regional Security Issues,’ on Thursday, May 23, 2013, at
7:30 p.m. at the National Association for Armenian Studies and
Research (NAASR), 395 Concord Avenue, Belmont, MA.
The Presidential election in February 2013 was marked by
the appearance of an oppositional movement named `Barevolution’ by its
founder Raffi Hovannisian. Further developments demonstrated the
weakness of this political movement and its influence upon the
unstructured Armenian opposition. It also indicated the fragility of
the Republic of Armenia’s internal stability, which in turn influences
its external security, especially when viewed in relationship to
current developments in the broader South Caucasus.
In this lecture, Dr. Novikova will look at these very
recent and ongoing developments in Armenia through the prism of
regional security issues, providing a timely analysis of important and
much-debated events.
Dr. Gayane Novikova is the founding director of the Center
for Strategic Analysis in Yerevan, Armenia. She is presently a
Visiting Scholar at the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies
at Harvard University (2008-2013) and a Visiting Lecturer in the
International Relations Department at Boston University (2013). She
is the author of several books, including The Conflict Potential of
the South Caucasus: the Geopolitical Dimension (2011), and more than
seventy articles.
