Our previous question was: "Do you believe that free elections (one where even an incumbent can be defeated) can change a country?"

Opinions were mostly divided. Of those who answered the question, 53% thought that such elections could bring positive change to the country; 43% thought they could not. Around 4% did not have an answer.

Our previous question was: "Do you see the future of your children in Armenia?"

84 of those who participated in the poll said "No", 67 said "Yes". We also had a similar discussion on our Facebook Generation Center page. Some of the participants said "Yes," some said "No," but it seems like most agree that the Armenia we have now, no matter how patriotic we are, no matter how much we love our country, which we have no doubt you do, still raises serious concerns when it comes to deciding weather this is the place we believe can be the best place for our children.

In our previous poll, we asked which would be of greater benefit to Armenia's economy , opening of Armenia -Turkey border or Improving the domestic economic and political environment . Before proceeding to discussion of the poll results, a little bit about the poll itself. One of the respondents asked whether the choices contradict each another, or if it is not possible to implement both simultaneously.

Our previous question was – how do you assess the Armenia-Turkey protocols?

Approximately 70 percent of respondents were negative in their assessment, 26 percent positive, and two percent had no opinion. We don’t pretend that these polls are sociologically accurate. But we do believe they reflect the public’s and our oft-stated concerns about the preconditions which have been included in those protocols and which are unacceptable for the Armenian side. Other publicized, sociological surveys have produced similar results.

Previously, we asked, “Should the president still be wearing the pin of his political party?” This question created a great deal of interest. Of those who voted, 67 percent believe that the president should not wear his party’s pin, because he is the president of the entire nation, not only of one political party. Another 29 percent or 218 respondents believe that it does not matter; three percent believe he has a right to wear such a lapel pin.

Last time we asked, “What has a greater impact on Armenia’s economic crisis,” acknowledging of course that both the international crisis as well as the economic policies of the government do have a huge role to play. Nearly half agreed that the problem is indeed caused by both. However, just over a third of respondents put greater responsibility (or blame) on the government than on the international crisis.

Most of you (92) agreed that the Dram devaluation which took place on March 3 is generally a good thing for Armenia’s economy.
Thirty one of you disagreed. We imagine part of the No vote was because of the way it was done, and not specifically opposition to the devaluation. It is true that the sudden announcement by the IMF, that Armenia had agreed to a more flexible currency exchange policy, after weeks of denial that such a move is either necessary or imminent, caused panic and cynicism among a population already suffering from the economic downturn.

We asked: Should the government seek to intervene and protect Armenia’s production and bail out some important industries which are in trouble, like mining?

Twenty-six of you said no; 104 said yes. There were eight I don’t knows, but the majority clearly felt government intervention is a good thing.
