    KARABAKH TO HOLD POPULATION CENSUS IN OCTOBER


    STEPANAKERT, JULY 11, ARMENPRESS: Authorities in Nagorno-Karabakh
    are planning to conduct the first ever population census, since it
    declared independence from Azerbaijan, later this year, between
    October 18-27.
    Sergey Davtian, the head of Karabakh statistical service, said the
    census 'will become another step towards consolidation of Karabakh's
    independence." He said the census returns will help the government to
    design its projects and forecast social-economic developments.
    A special government commission, headed by a deputy prime
    minister, was established to conduct the census. The last population
    census in Karabakh was held in 1989, when it had a population of
    192,000. Armenians made 76% and Azeri 23%, with Russian and Kurdish
    minorities. The capital city is Stepanakert.
