According to the NKR National Statistics Service, in January
and February of 2008 the rate of birth in Karabakh was up by 31
percent. Over the past two months 375 children were born, which is up
by 89 compared with the same period in 2007. 37.6 percent of babies
were born in Stepanakert, 16.8 percent were born in Martuni.

The rate of death was 284 which is up by 63 or 28.5 percent compared
with last year. The natural growth of the population is 91 and has
grown by 26.

The mechanical growth is 132. 47 have left and 179 have arrived in
Karabakh (internal migration excluding).

It is notable that over the past two months 1414 marriages were
registered compared with 97 marriages last year. If this is explained
by the law which encourages marriage, what is the cause of the growing
rate of divorce then?

Over the past two months the rate of divorce was 21 against 4 last
year.
