The annual population growth, which was around 1 million in 2009, was 382 thousand last year.While the East and Southeast accounted for 42% of the population growth in 2009, it appears to be around 70% today.Looking at provinces, 15 provinces showed negative population change last year.In Mersin, whose population was twice that of Siirt in 2009, the increase equaled Siirt's (16 thousand).Last year, Mersin showed an increase of around 3 thousand, while this number was around 10 thousand in Siirt.Again, setting aside the large total population difference, while Van achieved an increase of 32 thousand and Konya 34 thousand in 2009, this number decreased to around 22 thousand in Van and 13 thousand in Konya last year.Increase amounts in some provinces in 2009 and 2024;Sivas: 20 b / 4 bKonya: 34 b / 13 bHatay: 30 b / 14 bTrabzon: 16 b / 6 bŞanlıurfa: 63 b / 53 bDiyarbakır: 43 b / 28 bİzmir: 13 b / -6 bİstanbul: 10 b / -6 binIn 2025, this downward trend continues, observed through various statistics such as hospital birth rates.
