| News, Society, Armenia

A recent survey by Gallup International Association's (GIA) Armenian branch, conducted between April 22 and April 25, has revealed insights into Armenians' willingness to engage in street protests under various circumstances. 

The survey involved 1100 respondents and found that 36.8% of those questioned stated they would never participate in protests to change the government. Among the other respondents, 23.4% indicated they would protest if new territories were surrendered to Azerbaijan, and 22.5% said they would take to the streets in the event of a new war threat with Azerbaijan.

Additionally, 13.7% of the participants mentioned they would protest in support of a leader possessing strong willpower, while 10.4% would do so in support of a political force with a clear agenda and a program for changing power. A smaller segment, 4.5%, stated they would protest in response to a sharp deterioration in the socio-economic situation. The survey also recorded that 3.2% of respondents were unsure, and 1.4% cited other reasons for potentially engaging in protests.
