Data were collected from February 3 to 13, 2026, using  computer- aided telephone interviews (CATI). The sample consisted of  1,506 citizens of the Republic of Armenia over the age of 18 and  former residents of Nagorno-Karabakh, forcibly displaced from  Nagorno-Karabakh, who currently reside in Armenia (who may or may not  be citizens). Citizens who have lived in Armenia for less than six  months were not included in the sample. Telephone numbers were  selected using random digit dialing (RDD). The survey response rate  was 22%. The margin of error does not exceed +2.5 percentage points  for the entire sample. The sum of numbers in the graphs may differ  from 100 percent due to rounding.
