The population of the Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic has over recent
years been shown emigration trends - people have mostly left for
Turkey or Russia. The demographic situation in the region, which is
part of Azerbaijan, has changed. The book "Nakhichevan: historical
and some present-day problems" says that the Kurdish population has
recently increased in the region due to Kurdish immigrants from eastern
Turkey. Official Baku is concerned over the problem. The book contains
detailed information on the history of Nakhichevan, ethno-political and
ethno-demographic processes, economy and socio-economic problems. The
book also addresses Iran's growing influence in the region.
The book has been published by the Institute of Political Research,
RA Presidential Administration. The Institute also released the
analytical journal "Region and World." The first Russian-language
issue has been published. Levon Hovsepyan, an Editorial Board member,
told NEWS.am that articles in Armenia, Russia and English will be
published in further issues.
"Political and analytical journals are in the making in Armenia,
but we hope the journal will find its readers," Hovsepyan said. The
"Region and World" journal is intended for Armenian and foreign
experts, as well as for the general reader.
The Editorial Board members are well-known analysts and scientists
from Armenia, Russia and France. Other foreign experts will join the
Editorial Board in the future.
