EUROPE WILL SAVE ARMENIA
Can a state exist without contacts with other states? Such may exist in the
past but in the 21st century it’s impossible. What direction should
independent Armenia orient itself to? We addressed 100 citizens with this
question September 25-28.
`Blessed be the moment when a Russian set foot on the Armenian land.
Khachtur Abovyan was right. Russia have always been a sister nation to
Armenia and will remain such’, a man of 60 said.
27% of the respondents consider that Russia should be our strategic partner.
25% of those surveyed consider that Armenia should choose pro-American line.
`Neither America nor Russia can save Armenia. We must anchor hopes with
Europe only’. This the opinion of 20% of the respondents. They suppose that
Armenia should exert every effort to join the European Union though, in
their words, it can happen no earlier that in 15 years.
18% of those surveyed think that complementation would be the most
profitable line for a small country like Armenia.
The survey outcome prove that the attitude of out people towards Russia has
changed during the recent years.
