ArmInfo.More than half of the respondents in Yerevan are against opening the border with Turkey. This is evidenced by the survey data of the MPG consulting  company (Marketing Professional Group - the exclusive representative  of the International Association GALLUP in Armenia).

So, to the question whether you approve of the opening of the border  between Armenia and Turkey, only 6.9% of the respondents gave an  unambiguously affirmative answer, 15.6% rather yes, 7.6% rather no,  and 54.6% opposed. At the same time, 15.3% of respondents found it  difficult to answer. Thus, 62.2% of respondents in Yerevan are rather  against opening the border with Turkey.

At the same time, a little more than half of the citizens spoke out  against the decision of the Armenian government to lift the embargo  on Turkish goods.

So, when asked to express their attitude towards the decision of the  Government of the Republic of Armenia of December 2020, on the  refusal to extend the ban on the import of goods with Turkish labels  into the country, 18.2% of the respondents said that they  unambiguously support this decision of the executive body, 20% -  rather support, 11.8% - rather do not support, 39.2% - do not support  at all, another 10.8% found it difficult to answer.

The survey was conducted through telephone calls to residents of  Yerevan from January 24 to February 2 this year. 800 people attended  it. Poll margin of error +/- 3.5%.
