Population
19 — 20 cc․

Between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the inhabitants of Kermezi-Ghazakhlar were reliably registered in statistical sources only after they had shifted to a sedentary life: thus, in 1914 they amounted to 66.
In contrast to that, during their nomadic life, the same people were registered in different places, as a result of which their true number was highly exaggerated. Thus, in 1886 53 houses were recorded with 216 inhabitants.
