Our values and principles
Scientific approach
We recognize the capacity of sociology as a scientific discipline and devote ourselves to strictly follow its methodological principles on every stage of our research activity.
Objectivity
Acknowledging the value of objective and reliable information, we strive to minimize any influence that can cause false presentation or misinterpretation of social reality. Facts are unalterable. We do not invent facts but base on them.
National approach
Believing in uniqueness of every societal system and recognizing that standard schemes cannot be mechanically outsourced and applied to Armenian reality, we commit to take Armenian approach to Armenian problems.
Consistency
Our organization is result-oriented. The end-result of any activity performed should be a tangible contribution to fulfillment of social demand.
