“…This led to oversimplification of the complex concept: civil society was substituted with NGOs. Thanks to generous donor funding and training programmes, the number of NGOs in the three countries initially grew rapidly, plateauing at about 3,000 NGOs in Armenia (Paturyan & Gevorgyan, 2021) and Azerbaijan (Abbasov, 2010) and about 5,000 NGOs in Georgia (Companjen, 2010;Wheatley, 2010). Only a fraction of those are active today.…”

“…Compared to Georgia, Armenian civil society on the verge of the Velvet Revolution was more rooted in the general public, less dependent on foreign funding, and more in sync with the concerns and daily experiences of the Armenian people.
