Abstract
This paper deals with the triangular array of random variables where every sequence is connected into a stationary Markov chain. For the uniformly strongly mixing chain we find conditions under which the distributions of the sum converge to the Poisson law. A more general case of theL p-regular Markov chain is also considered.
