There is no analytical bloc in Armenia's management system because
the system was built and has been functioning not according to the
classical requirements but because of authoritarianism, director of
"Sociometer" sociological centre, Aharon Adibekyan, said on 20 March
during presentation of the results of sociological research within
the frames of the programme "Caucasus barometer".
He said that the government of Armenia signed an agreement with UN
Development Programme, according to which the annual index of human
potential development published by the Programme should be a basis
for the policy of the government, but this agreement is not fulfilled
by the government.
For her part, the acting chief of social management of Armenian
government's administration, Astghik Mirzakhanyan, said that
unfortunately, executive power bodies take decisions not on the
basis of suggestions of international organizations offered to the
governmental structures on the basis of public opinion polls held in
Armenia. She also added that ministries should use the data of public
opinion polls when drawing out their politics. "However, not local but
foreign structures seem to use the results of sociological research",
- she said.
For his part, director of "Eurasia" cooperation fund, Gevork
Ter-Gabrielyan, said that there is a big watershed between the
procedure of adopting decisions, the database and the database
production. He thinks that the first reason of such a situation is
a new practice, as during the Soviet times decisions were adopted by
the will of leadership. He presented the data of one of the research
centres, according to which about 25 structures that produce materials
for those which adopt decisions, have been functioning in Armenia,
and half of them are state structures. And only some of them used
funds of international donors so that to create bridges between the
database and adoption of decisions. He thinks that local research
organizations supported by international structures should implement
analytical work for the government. "But the government should want
that", - he concluded.
