Summary of the Month – November 2024

We are pleased to share November’s poll results and discussions on Armagora.am.

POLLS (all data as of December 2)

In November, we focused on security issues, the potential impact of the US presidential election on Armenia and Armenians, and health-related topics. Below are the results of three polls conducted during the month.

1. Healthcare

A total of 282 people participated in the poll. Thirty-eight percent of participants believe that the healthcare system is severely underperforming.

How well do you think the Armenian healthcare system responds to the needs of its citizens?

2. Armenia-Diaspora: Key Issues

The poll received a record number of participants: 1,180. When asked whether Armenia should abandon the international recognition of the Genocide, 95 percent responded with “no.”

Should Armenia abandon the international recognition of the Genocide?

3. Security, Defense, Foreign Policy

The poll on security topics is still ongoing and is seeing the same level of engagement as the previous poll. As of December 2, 399 people have participated. Among other topics, the poll covers Armenia’s relations with the CSTO and NATO. Approximately half of the participants believe Armenia should withdraw from the CSTO.

Should Armenia withdraw from the CSTO?

EXPERT OPINION

To stimulate public discussion about the voting results, thematic Q&A sessions were held in parallel with the polls in an “Ask Me Anything” format, during which experts answered questions from Armagora.am users live.

• Karine Sargsyan, a MD-geneticist, medical and foresight scientist, answered questions about healthcare. She discussed scientific progress in the field of medicine and related issues in Armenia.

•  As part of the Armenia-Diaspora theme, we hosted Anthony Barsamian, Co-Chair of the Armenian Assembly of America. The main topic was the results of the US presidential elections and the future of Armenian-American relations.

ARTICLES

To process and analyze the data from our polls and foster public discussion around them, we have launched a series of articles. Currently, our columnist is Canadian-Armenian journalist Raffi Elliott. The first article discusses the poll results on energy security.
