The American IRI group printed in the present day the outcomes of one other sociological survey. They have been held in Armenia in 2023. in December.

Turkic scholar Varuzhan Geghamyan writes on this regard: “Though there may be nearly nothing new in them, I wish to draw your consideration to 2 episodes.

First. polls show as soon as once more that the overwhelming majority of Armenian society continues to understand Turkey and Azerbaijan as the primary political and financial menace to our nation (greater than 80%, see Determine 1). That is necessary, as a result of the state-authority propaganda tries to do the alternative, furthermore, to current the institution of relations with Turkey as “the folks’s want”, which isn’t the case. On this sense, fortuitously, establishments of public reminiscence nonetheless work successfully.

Second. the mass media proceed to have the best affect on the formation of public opinion. Sadly, the image right here isn’t comforting. Within the high ten of the record of probably the most dependable sources for the general public, there are primarily governmental or pro-Western propaganda media (or instantly financed by Western nations) (see connected photos 2 and three). On account of the latter’s sermon, for instance, there’s a notion of a sure enchancment in relations with Turkey. On the similar time, because of the identical case, a excessive degree of hostile notion in the direction of Russia was shaped. On this sense, sadly, it should be admitted that the propaganda of the de facto authorities stays very efficient, which, in my view, is the primary assist of the federal government. When that highly effective propaganda system was destroyed or a counterweight was created, then we can have a very totally different political image.”
