YEREVAN
Only 17 people of the [1,000] polled in Yerevan have said they have
confidence in the Azerbaijani president [Ilham Aliyev] and most of
them answered the question in a joking manner.
The chairman of the Armenian sociological association, Gevorg
Pogosyan, said this to Mediamax, commenting on the opinion poll
conducted in the three South Caucasus countries in April 2005. "No
matter how [they answered], they answered and we registered them,"
Pogosyan said.
The poll was held by the [US] Gallup International polling centre at
the initiative of the Georgian sociological company Gorbi in
cooperation with the Armenian sociological association and the
Azerbaijani company SIAR. The poll was held to find out whether
citizens in the three republics trust regional and world leaders.
Despite its joking manner, the fact that 1.7 per cent of the 1,000
polled in Armenia trust the Azerbaijani president implies that
Armenian society is democratic and tolerant. No one of those polled in
Azerbaijan said they have confidence in the Armenian president, which
indicates that Azerbaijan's society is isolated and closed, Pogosyan
said.
