The trust in the parliament is falling in the world, and Armenia is
not an exception, an international expert in parliament ethics Rick
Stapenhurst said in a press conference in Yerevan.
Surveys revealed, he said, that the trust in the parliament has
not fallen only in Denmark and Sweden. According to the Caucasus
Barometer Research Center, the public trust is rather low also in
the CIS member-states.
"For instance, in Armenia only one-fourth of the population trusts in
strangers. The situation in Georgia and Azerbaijan is even worse," he
said. Stapenhurst said that Armenians least trust the parliament. "I
suppose that after the parliamentary elections that level might
increase by 2%-3%, but I cannot say that for sure," he said.
The expert said that Canadian researchers conducted public opinion
polls and found out that people most trust teachers and nurses,
and least car dealers and parliamentarians.
"This means that the mentality has changed, and the new generation
thinks differently," he said.
