Netgazeti reports that according to research carried out as part of
the Caucasus Barometer 2011 by the Caucasus Research Resource Centers
(CRRC), 84% of the population of Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan
is homophobic.
According to CRRC the most homophobic country in 2011 among these
three was Armenia, followed by Georgia and Azerbaijan. In response
to the question of whether they approve of homosexuality or not the
majority of people answered they did not approve of it.
96% of Armenians said they never approve of homosexuality, while in
Georgia and Azerbaijan this figure was 87% and 84%, respectively.
The CRRC blog reports that several surveys have revealed that the
younger residents of cities, especially females, are more tolerant
towards homosexuality. The findings of a survey carried out by the PEW
Research Centre in 2013 seem to confirm this. Still, over four out of
five South Caucasian residents strongly disapproves of homosexuality.
