YEREVAN, APRIL 14, NOYAN TAPAN. The surveys conducted in Armenia and Diaspora by the Ararat strategic center are evidence that considerable part of Armenian scientists, experts, public figures is too discontent with the policy carried on by the Armenian authorities to Turkey. Center Director Armen Ayvazian mentioned at the April 14 press conference. According to him, the participants of the survey held between March 12 to April 10 were asked three questions on three concrete subjects. 96% respondents gave "an extremely negative answer" to the question of how do you treat the fact of showing the film on the genocide allegedly organized by the Armenians in Turkey. Asked whether after R. Erdogan's statements Armenia should continue the rapprochement policy, 61% respondents gave a negative answer. And 81% respondents gave a negative answer to the question of how do you treat the invitation of RA government to Turkey to take part in the construction of a new nuclear power plant. A. Ayvazian said that some of the respondents considered that invitation a manifestation of Armenian officials' humor. According to the Ararat head, today Armenia's authorities make mistakes endangering country's future. The first mistake, according to A. Ayvazian, is that "the authorities do not perceive Turkey as it is, as an enemy." The second mistake is that Armenia's leaders name Turkish officials and Azerbaijan's leader "a normal person," while it is by Azeri President's order that Armenian monuments are destroyed in that country. And the third mistake, according to the political scientist, is disregarding the opinions of "non-court" Armenian experts.
