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.
