YEREVAN, JUNE 26, ARMENPRESS: Gallup Poll will be conducted this
autumn in Armenia and Turkey to find out the mutual attitude of
populations of the two states. The inquiry in Armenia will be held
by the "Armenian Sociological Association", in Turkey - "Tesev"
sociological organization where the works will be coordinated by
Professor Ferhat Kentel.
Head of the "Armenian Sociological Association" Gevorg Poghosyan told
Armenpress that nearly 80 questions on policy, economy, culture and
history are involved in the inquiry list. There will be questions on
the opening of the border, Genocide perception, cooperation between
the two states and having a general business.
In collaboration with the mentioned Turkish organization the
Association has conducted such an inquiry in 2005. At that time greater
part of the inquired noted that no developments and improvements are
expected in the relations between the two states, but changes are
noted during the latest period.
G. Poghosyan found it hard to say how will be the results of the
latest inquiry on the background of latest developments of Armenian
Turkish relations.
"Regulation of relations between the authorities of the two states
and the attitude towards each other is a different platform and
the relations between the societies - another. That's to say it
is difficult to say how will be the attitude of the society,"
G. Poghosyan said.
The poll will be conducted simultaneously in the both states and the
results will be summed up at the end of the year.
