Abstract

The results of 5 and 15 GHz polarization observations of the six blazars 1222+216, 1406−076, 1606+106, 1611+343, 17415-038, and 2022−077 obtained on the American Very Long Baseline Array are presented. The degrees of polarization in the cores and jets of these six gamma-ray quasars do not differ from those for other blazars.
