You have my word

In spite of the fact that in Armenia no one has a serious attitude to social polls the latter, however pretty interesting meaning for the relations between political forces and in terms of their calculations. It means that any type of polls conducted before elections instead of showing what the society thinks about political parties demonstrates how the parties are going to “distribute” their ballots. All these are well-known facts, which are once again proved when the government starts to speak about those. So did the deputy-chair of the Republican Party of Armenia Razmik Zohrabyan. The latter yesterday spoke about the results of the social polls conducted by the British Populus organization. He literally said the following, “The ones, who conduct polls also make money. If you are ordering polls you should send money too.” Razmik Zohrabyan frankly confessed that these polls are conducted not to reveal the public opinion but vice versa. These are conducted to help the society orient. “I find the access of such organizations quite normal so that the society would be oriented at least by mid-level,” said Zohrabyan.
