Sociological survey 1.1 Social-demographic description of the population in the project area The project includes Vedi and Ararat towns and Ararat, Aygezard, Verin Artashat, Mrganush, Shahumyan, Azatavan, Baghramyan, Byuravan, Burastan, Dalar, Dimitrov, Nshavan, Vosketap, Hovtashen, Mrgavan, Masis and Berkanush villages of Ararat Region. The number of permanent population in Ararat Region dated in 2012, January 1st is 88019 people, from which 42878 are women. The number of the households in the project area of Ararat region is (hereafter household) 20467. In this area a tendency of natural increase in population number is observed, as in accordance with data received in 2012, the birth number exceeded the number of death cases by 376. The number of birth was 993, and that of deaths was 617. The presented information on statistic data was received from the authorities of the communities. 1.2 Selection and method of the inquiry Random selection has been used for the survey, in this way providing equal possibility for each household to be selected. Based on this principle, from the existing 20467 households in 19 communities the selected and surveyed households have been 296. The survey of information in the area of households has been made by a specially prepared checklist. The checklist is attached in Appendix 1. 1.3 Gender-age combination of the respondents and description of households In these households 51.4% of the respondents were 41-60, 25.0% were 26-40, 19.6% were 61 and older, and 4.1% were 18-25 years old. 40.5% of them were men, 59.5% were women. The number of women exceeds the number of responding men, which can be reasoned by men being occupied at that moment, their absence, dominance of women in that region, etc. It must also be mentioned, that women associate with drinking water issues more for domestic and sanitary–hygienic needs. Gender-age combination is given in the following table 1. Table 1 Gender-age combination Age Gender 18-25 26-40 41-60 60 and older Subproject II – Detailed Design 5 HGSN – JINJ Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Project – Additional Financing Male 33.3% 45.9% 39.5% 39.7% Female 66.7% 54.1% 60.5% 60.3% The number of members in 296 households selected in the survey people is 1416, 39.0% of which are women, 35.2% are men, and 25.8% are teenagers up to 18. That is to say in each household selected for the survey on average there is 1.2 teenagers, among the adults women make 52.6%. It must also be mentioned, in 39.9% of surveyed households there were no children. On average the number of selected family members was 4.8 people. The survey of the nature of the respondents’ employment shows that 51.7% works in agricultural, 17.9% are state employees, 17.6% are housewives, 12,2% have their private

  • Armenian Acts of Cultural Terrorism

    Armenian Acts of Cultural Terrorism

    Iğdır Azerbaijani‐Turkish Cultural Association ARMENIAN ACTS OF CULTURAL TERRORISM History remembers, while Names changed Cafer Qiyasi, İbrahim Bozyel Kitab Klubu www.kitabklubu.org Baku – 2007 PREFACE It is a fact that the most important factor which enables nations to last out, is their cultural identity. It goes down in history that a nationʹs failure to hold on to its cultural values tenaciously would lead to a total frustration. As pointed out by one writer, ʹIf we shoot bullets through our past, a cannonade by our future gen‐ erations is next to come.ʹ Therefore, in order to succeed in living up to standards of a dignified life, one has to protect, maintain, and transmit his cultural heritage, which in turn builds a bridge between the past and the future. Regrettably, even around the turn of the century, terrorism remains a grim fact. It is excruciating to witness innocent people falling victims to terrorism. How‐ ever, what is more dangerous and utterly unpardonable is cultural terrorism. Fighting, plundering and arson have long been canonized as glorifying forms of action by some nations therefore it has been highly pertinent, in their view, to obliterate the cultural artifacts belonging to their adversaries which survived over centuries. Most probably, history will not excuse those nations that are committed to prove their dignity by destroying the cultural monuments of other civilizations. Dear readers, in its attempt to shed light on the question What is cultural terrorism?, this book constitutes a striking piece of document presented to the world public. You will be petrified to read about the cultural genocide exercised vigorously over Azerbaijani Turks by Armenian propagandists who unjustly misinform the world by spreading erroneous claims of ethnic genocide ‐alleged mass killings of Arme‐ nians in Ottoman Turkey in 1915.
