Sociological survey 1.1 Social-demographic description of the population in the project area The project includes Lernamerdz, Amberd, Aygeshat, Dasht, Doghs, Shahumyan, Shahumyan PF, Musaler, Norakert, Aghavnatun, Ptghunk villages of Armavir Marz and Voskevaz, Voskehat, Oshakan villages of Aragatsotn Marz. The number of permanent population in Armavir Marz dated 2012, January 1st is 22202 people, current population number is 20066, from which 10695 are women. The number of households in the project area of Armavir Marz is 4506, from which the existing ones are 4241. 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 78 people. The number of births was 215, and that of deaths was 137. The number of permanent population in Aragatsotn Marz dated 2012, January 1st is 11699, current population number is 11569, from which 5864 are women. The number of households is 3392, from which the existing ones are 3318. 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 deaths cases 43 people. The number of births was 136, and that of deaths was 93. The presented information on statistic data was received from the leaders of the village 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 7559 households in 14 communities the selected and surveyed households have been 234. 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 54.7% percent of the respondents were 41-60, 22.2% percent were 61 and older, 19.2% percent were 26-40, and 3.9% percent were 18-25 years old. 38.0% percent of them were men, 62.0% 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 more Male 33.3% 33.3% 36.0% 48.1% Female 66.7% 66.7% 64.0% 51.9% Subproject I – Detail Design 5 HGSN – JINJ Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Project – Additional Financing The number of members in 234 households selected

XX əsrin əvvəllərində çar Rusiyası tərəfindən dərc edilmiş xəritələrə baxmaq kifayətdir. Hər kəs görər ki, indiki Ermənistanın bütün ərazisindəki toponimlərin, demək olar ki, mütləq əksəriyyəti Azərbaycan mənşəlidir.
