YEREVAN, JULY 3, ARMENPRESS. Most of the respondents of a survey, conducted by MPG LLC, a full member of the GALLUP International Association in Armenia, mentioned the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic as the greatest challenge facing Armenia now.

“We asked the citizens to answer to the question “what are the three most important problems facing Armenia now”: 52,5% mentioned the COVID-19 pandemic, 28.6% – the unemployment, 17.2% – the economic situation. Usually, unemployment has always been in the first place, but it’s understandable why we now got such a picture”, Director of MPG LLC Aram Navasardyan said during a press conference.

The survey was conducted by phone. A total of 1,002 citizens participated in the survey. Alternative research error – 3%. The selection is representative according to the age-sex and place of residence of Armenian citizens. The survey was conducted from June 10 to 27.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
