Aaron Adibekyan, the embodiment of independent sociology, visited
Karabakh at the invitation of the youth wing of the Union of
Azatamartiks and conducted a poll to find out the popular rating of
the five candidates running in the presidential election of July
19. Aaron Adibekyan did not charge a fee for the poll, they only
covered travel expenses and other technical expenses. According to
Adibekyan, he did not get an order from any of the candidates. In
other words, free sociology is not only in the trap like cheese but
also at the Sociometer. Aaron Adibekyan presented the results of
his move made out of good faith to help promote the democracy of the
Karabakh presidential election to the Armenian reporters on June 18
at the Friday Club. His study showed that the likely candidate is
the so-called "single candidate" Bako Sahakyan. "Bako Sahakyan is
likely to win, Masis Mayilyan can compete with him, the others are
given low ratings," Aaron Adibekyan says, presenting the results of
the poll among 1000 respondents. By the way, 300 hundred declined to
answer the questions.

Adibekyan thinks they will not vote.

Masis Mayilyan’s average popular rating is about 6 percent, Bako
Sahakyan’s is four times higher. Instead fewer people are against
that Mayilyan become president. More people, about 1.5 percent,
do not want Sahakyan become president. He says the deputy foreign
minister Mayilyan has a high popular rating in Stepanakert, about 10
percent. Meanwhile, in the regions people do not know him. However,
this is only the beginning, and the candidates still have to meet
with people and fight for 55 percent of votes which do not belong to
anyone yet. In other words, according to Adibekyan, everything depends
on how aware of the wishes and expectations of voters the candidates
are. Besides, mainly well-off and educated people support Mayilyan
because Mayilyan is ahead of Sahakyan by intelligence. However, social
and economic problems are important to people, the pollster says.

According to him, the respondents appreciate kindness, care,
willingness to think about people, education, literacy, intelligence,
experience and skills as a leader. According to Adibekyan, Mayilyan
is ahead of Sahakyan on two parameters, literacy and education. He
is behind on all the other parameters.

"In terms of education he is ahead of Bako because he studied at the
diplomatic academy of Vienna. It is a great factor, if he makes use
of it.

But among whom? Among educated, intelligent voters, whose ratio is
small, you see. This is the problem," Adibekyan says. According to
him, common farmers do not want a "glamorous" candidate but want a
"daddy". Adibekyan says in fact Karabakh is going to choose between
"glamour" and "daddy". Bako Sahakyan will be the daddy, who has such
an image among people because he has provided money and other aid to
many people. In answer to the question of Lragir.am if the people of
Karabakh think Bako Sahakyan helped people from his pocket, Adibekyan
says he does not know, he only supposes that he helped people when
he occupied different posts. In this case we asked what makes him
think so. "People who answered that he helps people. I do not know
why he helps. He may make a phone call to the judge, the prosecutor,
he used to work in the sphere of home affairs. He helped people,"
Adibekyan says. In fact, Adibekyan exposes cases of corruption when
the head of the National Security Service of Karabakh calls the judge,
the prosecutor and solves certain problems.

"Everything is possible because there is a problem of justice," Aaron
Adibekyan says. He actually considers his survey unnecessary because
in a country where problems of justice are solved through phone calls
among high-ranking officials, no doubt the same phone calls will be
used in the presidential election to provide justice.
