What exactly has happened?[edit]

So I know what happened with the statement and what the P.M. said, but can we really call that a coup d'etat yet? Elijahandskip (talk) 13:14, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Now we can. Storming a Gov. building. Elijahandskip (talk) 11:44, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously? Then I'm waiting for the 2011, 2018 & 2020 Catalonia coup d'etat attempts, as in that three years the parliament was stormed. Oh, and 2020 US coup d'etat attempt...--HC PUNXKID 18:37, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Coup attempt?[edit]

This really doesn't strike me as a coup attempt. Unless there is information missing, there's no attempt to overthrow the government, it's just protesting against the current Prime Minister in Armenia, and the only person calling it a coup attempt is the Prime Minister. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.28.223.2 (talk) 20:50, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. That's why I added the NPOV & Disputed tags.--HC PUNXKID 18:39, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

2021 Armenian coup d'état attempt → 2021 Armenian political crisis – Per the concerns expressed in the talk page and the reasons why the neutrality and accuracy tags were added. Controversial name, a rename to "political crisis" could be less contested and more accurate. --NoonIcarus (talk) 19:53, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support many sources are calling it a political crisis: DW, Al Jazeera, Reuters, RFE/RL, France24, ABC, etc. Most of these present "coup" as the POV of the prime minister and his supporters. (t · c) buidhe 22:44, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Coup attempt, again?[edit]

I saw this article via {{Coup d'état}}. As an uninvolved editor, I wish to question how the resignation of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan for the purpose of calling early elections counts as a military coup? The source that reports the resignation (DW, not to be confused the Arthur character) still considers the coup claim to be attributed to the Prime Minister. --Minoa (talk) 12:29, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Minoa: Hi! I've tried to clear up the situation a bit now in the infobox with regard to the current situation. This event is tied together with the 2020–2021 Armenian protests, but Pashinyan is still serving as prime minister - the announcement of his resignation also clarified that he will continue as interim prime minister. With regard to if this event can truly be called a coup attempt or not is something I'm a bit unsure of, one analysis from CivilNet I've listened to called this event a "coup d'état light" if I remember correctly, as a demand from the military towards the prime minister to resign can technically be seen as a coup attempt, however violence hasn't been used, Gasparyan accepted (reluctantly) his dismissal, and Pashinyan is still prime minister as mentioned before and all three parties in the Armenian parliament have agreed on holding snap elections.
