The director of the Gallup International Association in Armenia, Aram Navasardyan, unveiled the results of their most recent survey conducted among residents of Yerevan during a press conference on Wednesday. The survey was conducted in preparation for the upcoming Council of Elders’ elections scheduled for September 17.

According to the survey results mentioned earlier, 9.3% of the respondents expressed their intention to vote for Tigran Avinyan, the candidate from the ruling Civil Contract Party. Hayk Marutyan received support from 3.7% of the respondents, while the opposition "Armenia" bloc garnered 2.8% of the votes. Karen Sargsyan, the candidate of the European Party of Armenia, and Mane Tandilyan of the Country to Live party, received 2.2% of the respondents' support each.

Out of the total respondents, 19.2% indicated that they would not participate in the elections, 11% stated that they would abstain from voting for any candidate, 33.4% were unsure and did not provide an answer, and 5.7% did not respond to this question.

Navasardyan highlighted that when these responses are combined, it becomes evident that approximately 55% of the respondents lack confidence in the possibility of conducting fair elections for the Yerevan Council of Elders.
