Only in 10 years Armenian will be reckoned among middle-level countries, more than a half of 50 experts having participated in My View on Future survey conducted by Armeian Center for National and International Studies think.

46% of respondents think Armenia will be weak country, and only 4% are convinced Armenia will turn into mighty state.

The Center has conducted also another expert-opinion survey on Armenian foreign policy and its relations with superpowers.

The results of the survey were presented at the seminar-discussion held in the Center on Thursday.

To the question whether cut in the U.S. humanitarian aid and financial assistance will have impact on your family 72% respondents said “no”, 6% didn’t know what to say and 22% said “yes”.

Yerkir newspaper’s Editor-in-Chief Spartak Seiranyan reacting to the question said he found the question irrelevant to the purpose and wondered how such a question could help to have an idea of Armenian foreign policy.

50% of respondents attach importance to the idea of improving Armenian-Turkish relations and opening the border. 40% voiced their disapproval over the idea and 10% didn’t respond.

It is remarkable that 30% of questioned experts are from state-owned institutions and 70% from private enterprises.
