An Examination on the Demographic Structure of Armenians in Tbilisi (1897-2014)

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the demographic structure of Armenians living in Tbilisi between 1897 and 2014. The scope of this study includes information about the total population of Armenians, their distribution by settlement, gender composition, marriage, language, and religious structure. The demographic characteristics of the Armenians, who have had a significant population in Tbilisi since ancient times, will be an area of interest for this study. In addition, information will be given about the political, socio-cultural, and economic structures of the Armenians in Tbilisi. The temporal framework of this study will consist of three main periods covering the years 1897-2014, namely the Tsarist Period, the Soviet Union, and the post-Soviet Georgia. The numerical data for these periods will be provided from the official population censuses carried out during the mentioned periods. In the study, the ratios of the numerical data of the population in urban and rural areas according to gender changes will be examined within the time frame determined above. Again, depending on these variables, data on the use of language (Armenian), which is the symbol of Armenian identity, elements that define the socio-cultural structures of Armenians living in rural and urban centers, and religious preferences will also be included. In this context, information will be given about the Armenians who are affiliated with the Apostolic Church residing in Tbilisi and the Armenians who adopt the Catholic religious belief. As a result of this study, the numerical and sociological assets of the Armenians in Tbilisi will be presented in a holistic way by supporting the demographic data with human data.
