Public Opinion in Azerbaijan 2005: Findings from a Public Opinion Survey
IFES’ 2005 survey in Azerbaijan reveals a pessimistic public opinion with respect to several key issues than the 2004 survey. The results suggest that most Azerbaijanis are dissatisfied with the economic and overall situation in the country, indicating an importance placed on economic concerns by most of the respondents. Moreover, many Azerbaijanis do not think that their country is a democracy. Corruption continues to be a serious issue, as a majority of Azerbaijanis report paying bribes for medical care, grades and passports or other official documents. Despite this dissatisfaction, interest in politics has steadily risen over the past 3 years. Following the survey, IFES also conducted a series of focus groups with people interested in politics, and some findings from the focus groups are also included in this report.

Azerbaijan Looks to Its Future: Social Attitudes and Trends (2004)
This 2004 public opinion survey conducted in Azerbaijan shows Azerbaijanis in a more positive frame of mind with respect to many key issues than was documented in IFES’ 2002 or 2003 surveys. Unlike in either of those, in the 2004 survey a majority of Azerbaijanis express satisfaction with the overall situation in the country, and a majority of Azerbaijanis describe the national economic situation as being “good.” More Azerbaijanis than not are also optimistic that the economic situation in the country will improve over the next year. And when it comes to democracy, many more Azerbaijanis rate the country as primarily a democracy than in the 2002 survey (46% versus 20%).
