According to a Gallup International poll conducted last November,
nearly half of Armenians do not trust the Prosperous Armenia Party
(PAP), Heritage nor the Armenian National Congress (ANC) parties.
The self-declared non-governmental opposition troika collapsed with
PAP leader Gagik Tsarukyan's capitulation in a recent "war" with
President Serzh Sargsyan. Still in autumn, however, when they were
active, the rallies they organized were not considered trustworthy by
40 percent of 1067 surveyed, and even then the troika was considered
to be destined to a collapse.
In the survey, only 11 percent of responders agreed that opposition
rallies would lead to negotiations with the ruling regime and only
nine percent said the opposition would be powerful enough to force
a change in government.
Gallup International Association's Armenia Office Director Aram
Navasardyan introduced the results of the study on Monday.
"The results of the study showed that many saw the part of the
ideological leader played by the PAP, and then - the ANC, and lastly -
by Heritage. Another interesting fact is that many refused to answer
the question," Navasardyan said.
"The numbers are more vivid when we speak of financial leaders,
here, 61 percent said that the financial leader is the PAP; 3 percent
Heritage and 3 percent the ANC."
