    Poll shows Armenians want unification with Karabakh

    Yerkir web site, Yerevan
    26 Jun 04

    A poll conducted by the Armenian Centre for National and International
    Studies (ACNIS) has revealed that Armenians are ready to participate
    in the defence of Karabakh if the war resumes.

    Stepan Safaryan of the centre told a discussion on Friday [25 June]
    that the poll, conducted among 1,950 individuals, indicates that 73
    per cent of the respondents are in favour of the settlement of the
    confrontation by Armenia, Karabakh and Azerbaijan. Most of the
    respondents consider the Karabakh issue to be part of the Armenian
    Question.

    Answering "why Karabakh does not belong to Azerbaijan", 38 per cent
    said that Karabakh was annexed to Azerbaijan under the Soviets, 27.6
    per cent said Armenians have been living in that region for centuries,
    and 12 per cent pointed out that Armenia has won the war over
    Karabakh.

    As for the status of Karabakh, 59.7 per cent see Karabakh as part of
    Armenia, whereas 38.6 per cent sees it as an independent state.
