Strong but not predatory, like a bear: this was one of the recurring
associations made by opinion leaders in Armenia, when asked which
animal the European Union could be compared to, and why. This was just
one of the findings of a wide-ranging survey carried out as part of
the Opinion Polling and Research (OPPOL) project, funded under the
2007-2010 European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI)
regional information and communication programme.
The survey aimed to generate better information about awareness,
understanding and perception of the EU and the role it plays in
Armenia. The first phase was a baseline study, which interviewed
opinion leaders to evaluate their perception, knowledge and appraisal
of the EU. The second phase involved an opinion poll which questioned
members of the general public.
The overwhelming majority of respondents have a positive assessment
of the EU and its relations with Armenia. An impressive 98% of
opinion leaders for example say that Armenia has good or fairly good
relations with the EU. Most respondents also felt that the EU's level
of involvement in Armenia is appropriate. (ENPI Info Centre)
