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, Veri (Upper) Paghjaghaz had 7 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.
