By the request of the Public Television of Armenia, `Gallup’
organization conducted a large-scale sociological survey during the
first half of November.

held now?’ 37.4 percent of the respondents said that they would vote
for Serge Sargsyan; 9 percent of the respondents preferred Raffi
Hovhannisyan, 6.5 percent – L. Ter-Petrosyan and 5.8 percent ` Vahan
Hovhannisyan. Nevertheless, 60 percent of the people polled are sure
that the greatest chances for being re-elected to the Parliament
belonged to the political party headed by Serge Sargsyan.

The survey reveals that if the parliamentary elections were to be held
the next Sunday, the major part of votes, 33.3 percent, would belong to
the Republican Party. `Prosperous Armenia’, with a rating of 15.39
percent, `Heritage’, with 13.4 percent, and `Rule of Law’, with 7.71
percent, follow the ruling political party.

And which political party do the people know best? The majority of the
respondents, 74.72 percent, mentioned the name of the Republican Party
of Armenia. `The other parties are the political forces represented in

“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
