Nikol Pashinyan was arranging protests against the power grab by the Armenian PM Serzh Sargsyan, even a month ago. On Tuesday, Nikol Pashinyan has been elected as the Prime Minister himself, with 59-42 votes in his favour, in the parliament. Pashinyan is a former newspaper editor, and his journey was difficult, as he was unwilling to compromise. The question now is, how capable a PM he would be.
