    Karabakh plans to double population

    October

    Since 2000, 5,300 families have moved to Nagornyy Karabakh, Anushavan
    Daniyelyan, prime minister of the Nagornyy Karabakh Republic, has told
    a correspondent of Armenpress news agency. He added that immigration
    is an important issue as Artsakh's [Karabakh's] human resources do not
    correspond to its natural resources.

    The Karabakh prime minister said that the issue was of both
    demographic, economic and strategic importance.

    Immigration has intensified since 2000. Under a decision of the
    Nagornyy Karabakh government, it is planned to double the number of
    the population, i.e. to bring it from 150,000 to 300,000 within a
    short time. The immigration programme will be implemented in all
    districts [of Karabakh], and in border districts in the first
    place. The programme is being financed from the budget of the Nagornyy
    Karabakh government. Various organizations are also funding this
    programme, Daniyelyan said.
