YEREVAN.- Although the number of poor has doubled in Armenia since
2008, only 50% of those in this group consider themselves poor,
said Armenian sociologist Aharon Adibekyan.
"It is a way of psychological protection. People do not want to admit
they are poor psychologically. Thus, no "rebellious social groups"
are formed," he said.
Sociologist also stressed that the number of optimists in Armenia
prevails.
"Forty percent of respondents are optimists, while only 2% -
pessimists. The group of optimists includes women, young people,
students, unmarried and people with higher education," he added.
