Just over 60 percent of Armenian citizens believe that military and political cooperation with Russia guarantees national security, Sputnik Armenia reported on Thursday, citing the results of a poll conducted by local public organization Glas Naroda (People's Voice)
While a total of 61 percent of respondents said that Russia should remain Armenia's key partner, 13 percent said that it was NATO that could be a guarantor of their country's security.
In addition, 65 percent of those surveyed voiced the belief that the Russian military base located in the northwestern Armenian city of Gyumri contributed to stability in Armenia and across the region.
However, 58 percent of respondents said the protests in which locals call for the base to close were provocative in nature, and 30 percent claimed that these protests did not reflect the opinion of the Armenian people.
Almost 90 percent of respondents said that Azerbaijan and Turkey were constantly putting Armenia under threat.
The poll was conducted among 1,200 professors and students from Armenian universities in February. The margin of error is around 1-2 percent.
