A census will be carried out in Armenia on October 13-22, the government's press office reported.

Armenia’s Deputy Prime Minister Hambardzum Matevosyan on Friday chaired a session of the commission dealing with the preparation and conduct of the census, during which the preparatory process, methodology and questionnaire were discussed.

Within five days after summarizing all the proposals and making addenda, the draft census program will be submitted to the government for approval. Afterwards, the questionnaire will be approved by a decision of the State Council on Statistics.

The last census was conducted in Armenia in 2011. Under the domestic law, it is carried out every ten years.
