Abstract
This study evaluates the population characteristics of Ayvahk city from past to the present. In terms of population characteristics, Ayvahk appears as a rich cultural area due to different religion, language and race factors which appear in the region. Ayvahk city has taken advantage of its geographical location and characteristics for many years and it has been an important economic and socioculrural center. The population of the city increased greatly during those periods. The population of Ayvahk, which reached 40.000 s in 1800, could re-increase to only 34.968 in 2008. As will be explained, significant changes occurred in the population characteristics due to political, socio-cultural and economic conditions from time to time. The wars, revolts, long-lasting invasions in Ayvahk tired the people who live there, and the region regressed so much economically. The population who came to Ayvahk through immigration experienced great problems, and for the entire population who experienced the entire immigration, Ayvahk became a hope as they left their homelands and came to this city. The immigrating population was identified as foreigners at the places from where they came, and from time to time, they are also the foreigners for the places they arrived, and tried to overcome this troublesome immigration process.
