NUMBER AND COMPOSITION OF THE POPULATION OFYEREVAN IN 16-18 CENTURIES

Research of the number and composition of the population in Yerevan in the 16-18 centuries has great importance both from the point of view of historical science and for political reasons, since the falsification of the historical demography of Armenia in general and Yerevan in particular goes on in the neighboring country.

Study shows that during 16-18 centuries, despite the various disasters, the population of Yerevan was 30-35 000, and consisted mostly of Armenians.
