This is Serzh Sargsyan. For seven days, he was the prime minister of Armenia. But he stepped down Monday in the face of widespread protests.
Things didn't have to go this way for Sargsyan, who finished his second term as president April 9 and was appointed prime minister last Tuesday.
That all worked out fine for Russia, one of Armenia's closest allies in the years after the country declared independence from the Soviet Union.
But the Armenian people were less than enthused about what was seen as a power-grab on Sargsyan's part, and even before he was confirmed, people had taken to the streets.
Among those detained was MP Nikol Pashinyan, an opposition leader who has been at the forefront of the protests.
That didn't stop the protests from growing, and Monday, members of the military appeared to join in. The apparently unarmed soldiers stood at the head of the crowd, linking arms with supporters and looking generally uninterested in dispersing them.
Pashinyan was released Monday and immediately joined the protests, where he was greeted with people chanting his name.
When the crowds on the streets of Yerevan, Armenia's capital, learned about Sargsyan's resignation, people immediately started celebrating.
