The Media Development Agency of the Republic of Azerbaijan conducted a public opinion survey in the first half of 2026 to assess Azerbaijani citizens' attitudes toward the activities of President Ilham Aliyev and analyze the dynamics and trends in this area, the Media Development Agency told APA.
According to the information, the survey results showed a high level of public support for President Ilham Aliyev's political leadership and strategic activities.
