/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Nagorno Karabakh President Arkady Ghukasyan has
addressed a message to NKR society over the population census in
2005. The statement specifically says, "October 18 the first population
census starts in our Republic to be held till October 27. As it is
known, according to international standards, the census is held once
every 10 years. The latest census was held in NK during the Soviet
regime in 1989. Unfortunately, the war imposed upon us by Azerbaijan
and the following complex military and political situation, social,
economic, and democratic situation, as well as the need to restore the
undermined economy, provide at least minimal living conditions for
the population and absence of means conditioned by all this did not
allow conducting the recurrent population census in time. We clearly
understand the importance of the census in securing further social and
economic growth. This will provide an opportunity to realistically
plan our actions aimed at strengthening independent statehood of
Artsakh, enhancement of the development and the defensive potential
of the country.
Satisfying legal and normative basis is formed for the holding of the
census. The NKR Law on Population Census had been passed in 2002. Based
on it the terms of preparation and holding of a population census
was determined. To conduct the census the NKR National Statistical
Service, a state plenipotentiary body, is appointed. All personnel,
technical, methodical problems are solved, specialists are trained
(there are some 600). Besides, the state and self-government bodies are
commissioned to assist holding the census. In short, all preconditions
are available for holding a population census.
Addressing you I consider it my duty to remind you the population
census is compulsory for everyone. Thus, I urge everybody - NKR
citizens, temporary or permanent residents - to respect the census
officers, assist them in fulfilling their duties and provide full
and true answers to their questions. I expect our population to
display understanding and responsibility towards the successful
holding of the census, realizing that it should mark another real
step to self-government and international recognition of the Nagorno
Karabakh Republic."
