13:09 25/01/2013 » Politics
We pay less attention to foreign policy than to domestic issues:
pension, jobs, economy. But it is stability in foreign policy that
affects all these issues as well as the settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, sociologist Aharon Adibekyan told
reporters, presenting the results of a survey aimed at finding out the
moods of Armenian citizens - if they are pro-Russian or pro-Western.
According to Adibekyan, most of respondents think that Armenia should
join Russia, while much less respondents say that Armenia should join
the European Union.
Most of the youth and students are pro-European and less pro-Russian,
said the sociologist, adding that the presidential candidates should
use it competently.
`Serzh Sargsyan's complementary policy wins over both pro-Europeans
and pro-Russians,' he added.
Until now economic problems, including wages and pensions, as well as
emigration have been primary for Armenian citizens, and only 1-2
percent of respondents named the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict as a priority task, Adibekyan said.
