Armenia and Turkey: ‘Having gay neighbour’ (survey) - Council of Europe report

In many Council of Europe member states national surveys have been conducted, with different methodologies, focus and scope. [Unzipped: Gay Armenia - without having detailed description of survey methodologies, it’s difficult to assess how robust, representative and comparable these survey results could be.]

Regarding survey results related to having a gay or lesbian neighbour, a Turkish survey from 2009 showed that 87% of the population did not want to have a gay or lesbian neighbour – the same figure is found in an Armenian survey from 2005.
***
In Georgia 84% of respondents expressed negative attitudes towards homosexuality.
