Hi everyone! Today, Armenians claim that the Muslim Turks murdered 1.5 million of their people in 1915. The numbers don't add up when examining the US government's 1916 accounting of 1,758,000 Armenians in this region plus many more than one million then living within the borders of the Ottoman Empire. In addition, there were hundreds of thousands of Armenians in such places as Syria, Iraq, Iran, etc. There are just too many Armenian Christians alive in 1916 to have had 1.5 million of them killed in 1915. The cry that 1.5 million Christian Armenians have been murdered by Muslim Turks just didn't happen! The Armenian committee members always distort and exaggerate the facts about Armenian population before and after the Relocation Implementation. They try to create a basis for their false claims by using war records, official records, church statistics and, reports of foreign missionaries. Some of numbers that is given about the Armenian population in the Ottoman territories are sometimes exceed to the total Armenian population of the Diaspora. Armenian Population before the Relocation: There are many different claims about Armenian population in the Ottoman territories; some figures are as follow: 1.British Annual Register 1917 1.056.000 2.Patriarch Ormanyan 1.579.000 3.The Armenian historian Kevork Aslan 1.800.000 (In "Armenia and Armenians", Aslan states the Armenian population in Anatolia 920.000, in Clicia (Adana, Sis, Maras) 180.000, in the other Ottoman territories 700.000, total 1.800.000) 4.German Priest Johannes Lepsius 1.600.000 5.Cuinet 1.045.018 6.The French Yellow Book 1.475.011 7.The Armenian historian Basmajian 2.280.000 8.Patriarch Nerses Varjabedyan 1.150.000 Source http://www.azerigenocide.org site Waiting for answers Thank You for Attention
