In 1915 the population of Kesab was subjected to a deportation and a slaughter. After 1918 those who had had a miraculous escape from the massacres started returning to their native villages. The population census carried out by Simon Ayanian in 1920 clearly showed that the number of the inhabitants of the district had decreased as compared with that of 1911.

1955 y․

The population census of 1955 showed that the number of the inhabitants of the district had diminished as compared to the data for 1920. According to its results, Ekizoluk had 24 houses.

During the population census of 1955, the inhabitants of the district were registered by the number of souls. As the previous censuses represent that of houses, we have divided the number of souls registered in 1955 by 6, thus getting that of houses in each village. Չոլաքեան Յ., Քեսաբ, հ.

1920	35		The results of the population census of 1920 carried out by Simon Ayanian do not include data for the villages of Garaturan and Pashort: we think that the document containing this information has not come down to us or no census was conducted there for some reason or another (Չոլաքեան Յ., Քեսաբ, հ. Գ, Հալէպ, 2004, էջ 233-234). We do not have trustworthy information regarding these places and have offered the statistical evidence for 1920 by comparing the decrease of the population in the other villages of the district in 1911.
