Abstract
Regarding the sabotage of the defeated elites and existing paradoxes in Arab revolution’s concerns are expressed about threat of counter-revolution in Tunisia and Egypt. This article questions how we make sense of the Arab revolution regarding the types of regime political changes? And revolutions are revolutionary enough to offset the perils of restoration? Author believe that Arab revolutions may be characterized neither as revolution per se nor simply reform measures. Instead these are refo-lution that should turning in to revolution (democratic and meaningful changes).
