YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 3, ARMENPRESS: Armenia is the leader in South
Caucasus by internet usage indicators. About this fact speak the
results of The 2012 Caucasus Barometer research implemented by
"Caucasian Research Resource center" in Armenia, Georgia and
Azerbaijan. "Armenpress" reports that The 2012 Caucasus Barometer
research reveals that under half of each population uses the internet
once a week or more, and within that 33% of Armenians, 26% of Georgians
and 11% of Azerbaijanis use it every day. While internet use is more
common in Armenia, its usage has increased in all three countries since
2010. Additionally, internet use is more common among men than women,
among capital residents, and among those 18-35 years old.
Although internet usage is increasing in each country, over half
of each population does not use the internet. Lack of need for the
internet is the primary reason in Armenia and Azerbaijan, whereas lack
of access to a computer is the primary reason that people do not use
the internet in Georgia. Additionally, about a quarter of Azerbaijanis
indicate that they are not interested in using the internet (24%)
or have no way to connect (20%).
Those who use the internet were asked to name their most frequent
activities online. The majority of people in Georgia and about half
in Armenia and Azerbaijan mentioned social networking sites such
as Odnoklassniki, Facebook and Myspace. Searching for information
was also frequently mentioned, as was using Skype, particularly
in Armenia. The data also shows that Azerbaijanis more frequently
download, listen to and watch music and videos, as well as receive
or send emails than in their Caucasian neighbors. Other internet
activities such as playing online games, visiting dating websites,
blogging, shopping or engaging in forum discussions were not frequently
mentioned and thus remain less popular in the region.
