Armenia's Population Increases...Barely



Not quite the breakthrough numbers anyone was expecting, but progress is progress!
Armenia reported today a slight increase in overall population number last year saying it grew by 3,600 people to 3,222,700.

Over 95% of the population are ethnic Armenians. In addition, Russians, Yezidis, Kurds, Greeks, and Assyrians are among the minorities who call Armenia home.
The same article mentions that over 1,000,000 of those people live in Yerevan!
