ArmInfo. Armenian citizens are most satisfied with the activities of the Armenian Apostolic Church (AAC) and the Armed Forces of the Republic. This is according to the results of a survey presented by Armen Khachikyan, Director of the Arar Foundation for Civilizational Studies.
According to the Foundation's Director, the survey included issues that have been most actively discussed recently: Azerbaijan's actual goals regarding Armenia, the peace proposed by US President Donald Trump, the need for constitutional amendments, and other topics. A total of 1,123 respondents participated in the survey, conducted from October 5 to 25. According to the survey, Armenian citizens are most satisfied with the activities of the Armenian Armed Forces and the AAC - 66.4% and 62.5%, respectively. Satisfaction with the police is 54.6%.

Overall, young people trust both the Armenian Apostolic Church and the Armed Forces the most-around 70%. Those most dissatisfied with the National Assembly are those aged 45 to 60, as well as those with low social security-62.7%, the foundation noted in presenting the survey results.
According to the survey, 51.8% of respondents in Armenia consider the Armenian government's foreign policy to be misguided. Another 62.7% consider its domestic policy to be misguided.
Furthermore, the overwhelming majority of respondents in Armenia do not believe that peace with Azerbaijan can be achieved through negotiations. 69.2% of respondents said so. However, 30.5% believed peace could be achieved through diplomatic negotiations. "It is noteworthy that more than 70% of people aged 18 to 44 do not believe in peace with Azerbaijan.

Furthermore, when asked whether peace with Azerbaijan could be achieved through the mediation of US President Donald Trump, 65.1% of respondents said it would be impossible to achieve real peace through this means, while 33.7% said it was possible. Regarding the need to adopt a new Constitution, according to the survey, 35.1% of respondents believe it is necessary, and 49.0% of those surveyed said they would join the Church's call for unity, given the criticism leveled at the Armenian Apostolic Church. "At the same time, 91.3% spoke out against changing the Constitution to favor Azerbaijan and in exchange for peace," the foundation emphasized.
