The recent re-election of Armenian President Serzh Sarksyan has seen large protests in the South Caucasus country, and this week's guest for Monday Talk says the opposition to Sarksyan is growing. “The official election results are challenged by many, but more importantly, the current political struggle is less about the specific results, and more about the opposition to the current government,” said Richard Giragosian, founding director of the Regional Studies Center (RSC), an independent think tank located in Armenia's capital of Yerevan.
