ArmInfo.Armenian citizens still rely on Russia for military- political assistance. This is evidenced by the results of the survey "Water wears away the stone", conducted by the MPG consulting company (Marketing Professional Group - the exclusive representative of the International Association GALLUP in Armenia).
Thus, when asked who Armenia can receive military-political assistance from, 37% of respondents expressed their conviction that it is from Russia. It is noteworthy that in May 2021, 38.3% of respondents thought so. In second place is the United States with a score of 32.5%, while in May 2021 only 23.8% of respondents thought so. Iran is in third place-25.5%. It is noteworthy that in May 2021, respondents did not consider Iran as a state whose support Armenia could enlist. This also applies to India and China, which are located on the fifth and sixth places with the results of 17.5% and 7.5% respectively. France is in fourth place with a score of 24.2%, having seriously worsened its position compared to May 2021, when 31.3% of respondents thought so.
Germany is in sixth place with a score of 4.4%, followed by NATO - 1.7%. CSTO is in eighth place with a result of 0.2 percent. Moreover, in 2021, 7.2% of citizens hoped for the CSTO. Armenia does not hope for the UN Security Council either, so if in May 2021 11.4% of respondents hoped for this international Organization, then in November 2022 there are only 0.2%.
8.3% of respondents (12.9%) mentioned other countries, and 8.7% of respondents said that there is no country that would provide military-political assistance to Armenia. Another 7.1% (5.2%). found it difficult to answer.
At the same time, 27.1% of respondents are convinced that in the current realities, Armenia should suspend its membership in the CSTO, 16.2% of respondents are rather inclined that it should suspend its membership in the Organization, 17.7% - rather not, 19.6% - definitely should not suspend its membership, another 17.4% found it difficult to answer.
It should be noted that the survey was conducted through telephone calls to residents of Armenia from November 2 to November 12 of this year. The sample size was 1100, the sampling error was +/- 3%. In 2011, MPG became the official representative in Armenia of the Gallup International Association, one of the most prestigious and independent public opinion research organizations in the world.
