On December 12-15, 2010, the APR Group center conducted a sociological research to find out how the people of Yerevan relate to the first wave of dismissing officials, particularly the resignation of the former mayor and justice minister.

According to the results of the survey, 74.3% of the respondents support the dismissals, 16% don’t support this policy, and the others did not say anything. The people’s understanding about the president’s decision to fire the mayor differs from the general acceptance of the political situation. 81.7% of the respondents believe it was good of the president to dismiss the mayor, 14.7% think the president was wrong, and 3.6% refused to answer this question.

Introduction

Following the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Armenia, like many other post-Soviet republics, had to embark upon the difficult path of the construction of a new state system with the transition from one political regime to another having an impact upon the socioeconomic system. Moreover, the system of labour relationships was also subjected to changes which were based upon the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia.

An OSCE research on youth awareness about labor rights and role of professional unions was presented in Yerevan on June 7.

“The research showed that, generally, young people do not seal contracts with employers, that is why their rights can’t be guaranteed,” Deputy Head of the OSCE Office in Yerevan Carel Hofstra stated.

“The aim of the research is to assist civil and democratic institutes of Armenia, with professional unions as an important part of the civil society,” he added.
