THEY DISTORT THE OPINION OF ARMENIAN SOCIETY: RESULTS OF CU MEMBERSHIP SURVEY DO NOT MATCH
November 12 2013
A few days ago, results of social survey conducted by "Integration
and Development" NGO was published, according to which, 86 percent of
respondents have quite positive attitude towards the decision of RA
authorities to join the Customs Union. Yesterday, Paruyr Hayrikyan
presented presented the results of the survey conducted by NSDU and
"State for Human Rights" NGO regarding the same issue, according
to which, only 20 percent of the population supports the membership
to the Customs Union. Aravot.am asked Gevorg Poghosyan, Director of
"Armenian Sociological Association", whether practically it is possible
to have such a vibration on the same issue, Mr. Poghosyan replied,
"Of course, it is not possible, even if it was not done not in a week,
but a month later, the contrast could not be that much.
What Hayrikyan conducted was not a social survey, but, perhaps, a
survey conducted in the street. It is not representative. The previous
poll does not also inspire confidence." Mr. Poghosyan said that they
avoid such surveys and said why, "There is no clear idea among the
population about the Customs Union and the Association Agreement. This
survey should be conducted among the experts. But, asking this question
to the population, we again and over again reveal their attitude to
Russia and Europe. And, they are the same for 15 years.
Majority of people are oriented towards Russia due to political,
economic and cultural ties." We were interested to know whether these
surveys were conducted by an order, Mr. Poghosyan said, "Hayrikyan's
approach to RF is known long ago, and there is no news here."
