For Nagorno Karabakh: Statistical Service of Nagory-Karabakh Republic (www.stat-nkr.am).
Remarks:
The 1979 and 1989 population figures of Kəlbəcər-Laçın and Yuxarı Qarabağ include the population of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast which was 160,901 and 187,769, respectively. The same holds for the area (4,400 sq.km).
Since the Nagorno-Karabakh war, most parts of Yuxarı Qarabağ and Kəlbəcər-Laçın are part of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. The 1999 and 2009 population figures given for Yuxarı Qarabağ refer to the parts that are controlled by the Azerbaijani central government; they are rough estimates. The de jure result of the 2005 census (which took place between 18-27 October) for Nagorno-Karabakh Republic was 137,737.
The 1999 and 2009 population totals are probably higher than the sums of the regions' population because they include refugees.
