Almost three quarters of Armenians see the European Union as an
important partner, with most also having a positive image of the EU.
More and more Armenians also feel that the EU promotes good governance
and peace and stability in the country. These were just some of the
findings to emerge in the third in a series of polls carried out at
six-month intervals between December 2009 and November 2010. The
results are part of the EU-funded Opinion Polling and Research
(OPPOL) project, funded under the 2007-2010 European Neighbourhood and
Partnership Instrument (ENPI) regional information and communication
programme.
The three waves of opinion polls summarize the outcomes of
400 interviews with members of the general public in Armenia,
and are designed to generate better information about awareness,
understanding and perception of the EU and the role it plays in the
partner countries. The final poll also sought to identify evolving
perceptions of the EU.
Among other findings, the latest poll found that more and more
Armenians identify fighting corruption as a key challenge for the
country, overtaking ensuring healthy economic growth. The poll also
suggests that Armenians are also becoming less worried about security
and defence.(ENPI Info Centre)
