The Republic of Nagorno Karabakh is preparing for the October 18-27,
2005 population census, which is the first one since the proclamation
of its independence.

According to Chief of the Population Census Department of the NKR
National Statistic Service Sergey Davidian, the census will become
another stage of the Karabakh statehood development.

In the course of the census, a peculiar social research will be
conducted, as well as the social-economic situation in the Republic,
and the resources in various spheres will be researched. Basing on
this information, the Government will be able to elaborate
corresponding programs in the future, and to forecast the country’s
social-economic development. For organizing and conducting the census,
a general republican commission is created, with Vice-Premier Ararat
Daniyelian at the head.

The last census in Nagorno Karabakh was conducted in 1989.
