ArmInfo. Armenia has proved among the top three reliable partners of
Russia, says the poll conducted by the Russian Public Opinion Research
Center (VCIOM) on Nov 21-22 2009. A total of 1.6 thousand people were
polled in 140 populated areas in 42 regions, districts and republics
of the Russian Federation. Statistical discrepancy does not exceed
3.4%. Thus, 8% of the polled ranked Armenia the third partner of
Russia after Belarus (43%) and Kazakhstan (31%).
RBC reports that the other CIS member-states are ranked deep in the
bottom of the list: Azerbaijan and Ukraine were given by 4% of votes,
Kyrghyzstan, Moldavia, Turkmenia and Uzbekistan by 3%. Tajikistan
and Georgia were given by 2% and 1% of votes, respectively.
Nevertheless, the citizens of Russia do not trust in President of
Armenia Serzh Sargayan much. He received only 3% of the votes of the
polled and took the 7th position in the list of the CIS leaders.
President of Belarus A. Lukashenko and President of Kazakhstan N.
Nazarbayev received 33% and 28% respectively. Then goes Ilham Aliyev,
President of Azerbaijan (6%). The lowest was the rating of M.
Saakashvili, President of Georgia (1%).
