The Armenian government plans to cut the budget for Armenian
communities, Aykakan Zhamanak reports.
According to the Mayor’s Office of Kapan, the population of the city
totals 45,200 residents, the National Statistical Service gives a
figure of 37,600.
The National Statistical Service two years ago that the population
of Kapan totaled 62,000 people, thus dropping by 40% since. Aykakan
Zhamanak believes that it would be fair to use the city as an example
for all Armenia and calculates that the real population of Armenia has
dropped from 3.2 million two years ago to 2 million today, excluding
the migration factor.
