A pre-election public opinion survey has found that 51 percent of
Armenia's citizens believe radical political change is the only
solution to the country's major problems.
The survey, conducted by the Center for Public and Political Research,
is the first of four that will be carried out ahead of next May's
parliamentary elections.
According to the survey, 25 percent of respondents named social
inequality as the number one problem, 24 percent said unemployment
and for 21.5 percent said inflation.
About 46 percent of respondents said the government was effective in
promoting agricultural policy; 39 percent youth and sports policy;
and 9.5 percent praised authorities for their health policy. Thirty
seven percent said the government does little or nothing to improve the
judicial system; 30.5 percent were dissatisfied with the government's
social policies; and 16 percent with its education and science policy.
The survey was conducted in November across Yerevan among 630 randomly
chosen residents, none of whom was a party member; fifty-four percent
were women, 24 percent had no permanent jobs, 11 percent were civil
servants and 64 percent had higher education.
