Here are the statistics of 1913 from the official Armenian records. The 1912 are those from McCarthy after he applied correction value to the Ottoman records. The % is the deviation in % from the Armenian records, as can be seen from the regions where the Ottoman had more administrative control both figures are similar and we even observe undercounting from the 1913 records.

 

The Merge represent choosing the highest between the two. The reason is that the 1913 figures when comparing we observe are not overcounting, the population differences for the less administrative control is the highest.

 

Note the capital, where the Ottoman had the most administrative control, the differences is of 0,94%.

 

We arrive at 1966400 for the population.

Unfortunately I don't have it either.This fanatic Turk from Turkish forum posted this graph and claimed based on that Armenians were mere 350k before AG! Absurd right? At 1st I just dismissed it as another bogus crap (It is still crap) but upon closer look I added all the numbers and got over 1 million Armenians!Now this jackass claimed 350k! So I just used his bogus material against him.

I would like to know where this graph comes from myself.

 

Armat, the map has some problems compared to the official Ottoman figures. I'll check that.

Everything have no links. The 1912 figures are taken from Muslim and minorities and maps draw by McCarthy, the other are Patriarchate official figures, they are not those released by Marcel Léart or those used for propaganda purpouses, they were for internal consuption. They were official published by Raymond H. Kevorkian and Paul B. Paboudjian in Les Arméniens dans l'Empire Ottoman à la vielle du génocide, Ed. ARHIS, Paris, 1992

 

You can find it here p.82 from McCarthy chapter in a Turkish government publication. Don't buy what McCarthy is saying on p.81, he is making baseless assumptions to discredit the statistic but admit them to be superior to the other Patriarchate figures. Those were drown according to the parishes informations, birth, death certificates and the other records available.

I've checked this statistic, it is off mark in many cases, I just agree with one, 130,500 is obviously an underestimation of the Armenians of Van, not as much as the 1913 statistics though.

 

If we take the merge figures I have provided and add a 1,2% increase of population for the period of one year to find 1914 (note that it is not an exaggeration given that McCarthy figures represent 1912), we find 1,989,997. So there was approximativally 2 million Armenians to be moderate, but probably more.

what do you think about this argument:

"it´s absolut nonsense to take in consideration the statistic of the armenian population just before 1915"

 

I thought in the beginning that it was too excessive, but afterwards, by taking into consideration "some" of the facts:

- between 1894 and 1894 it is estimated that the number of armenians decrease with nearly 500 000 persons [300 000 were killed, 50 000 orphans, 100 000 refugees in the Transcaucasians]

- massacres in Adana 1909 : 30 000 victims

- the census doesn´t take into account the fact that the armenians wasn´t willing to "register" all their family members

- ....

 

 

The Genocide didn´t begin in 1915, and before 1915 the armenian population went throught too many exactions (removals, massacres, change of religion...)

sorry

 

- read between 1894 and 1896

 

introduce myself?

an armenian born in France, living in Sweden

Kharpetsi and Dikranagertsi

 

"it´s absolut nonsense to take in consideration the statistic of the armenian population just before 1915":

I didnt mean something, it was a quote (between 2 "")

this quote means that taking in consideration the statistic of the armenian population just before 1915 (1914 for example) without taking consideration of some major facts (developp in 3 points in my first topic) minimise the reality ...

No Problem,

 

welcome to hyeforum, which part of Kharpert is your ancestors from, do you know by any chance?

 

my wifes family is from Bazmashen, my own Fathers side is from Mush, Mothers from Khoy Salmast-Jugha-to Iranian Namakert.

 

while vacationing in Jermuk Armenia I noticed almost everyone is Vayq and surrounding areas can pin point there roots to Sasun and Mush to Khoy and Salmast.

 

right now I'm doing more research to that regard, many from Sasun, and Mush in general escaped or fled hamidian massacres and settled in Khoy-Salmast, while in his faymous book by Khachik Dashtents (Ranchparneri Kanche) it mentions how Andranik and maxluto (Smbat Boroyan) had gone to Salmast and recruited under there wing old fighters from Sasun.

 

its an amazing story. I start to believe many in Syuniq are direct descendents of Mush remnant population.

I just found recently (nearly 2 years ago I think) that our surname wasn´t the one we got in Kharpert, very difficult to have any chance to know more about our ancestor as my grand-parents (father side) were young orphans.

 

we just begin to rediscover ourselves and the amazing stories are so numerous every time we look in our book

 

see you

You mean that your present furckish surname of "CHIRKINIAN" to mean "UGLY", Stanbul-ian, Izmirl-ian, Bokh-jali-kakli-ian is not your anecstral surname like Mamikonian, Arshakuni, Aramian, Tigranian or Yerevanian ???

Why is it that we must know furkish to see that in their language a surname like "bokh-jali-ian" (bundle) also mean "shit collector-diaper"?

Arpa what is the relevance of this post with NoComment?

Please either edit this to make it as a general post or better remove it altogether and I will remove my post afterwards.

 

Thank you.

absolutely not,

 

I have a name beginning by M, and found out that our real name was/is Aprahamian, a difference witch have nothing to do with your so called furkish name

 

and if I did have a furkish name, in witch way should I be surprised or offensed that it is/was a furkish name, I´m an armenian, and I will as so furkish all the ones who doesn´t respect my origine and my name ...

 

 

I haven´t seen so many armenian people issued from the genocide using "lolig" for tomato, did you ?

I hope that the survivors who did use an furkish name (as tomatés for tomato) were then not excommunicated ...

Good for you. And welcome.

With all due respects to Yervant above. I do at times, more often than not use strong language when it comes to this subject. It hurts me, I mean, it hurts me to see, day after day, people come here and other sites begging to be liberated of their furkish surnames but not knowing how.

Not knowing how? How would they know when more than half of our bishops an Catholicoses have or have had furkish surnames themseleves. When we have presidential candiadates with names like "demirji-oghlu-ian" (even furkish candiadates don't have such furkish surnames). It will be the end of Armenia and the Armenian nation when someone with surname like Demirji-ian or Kurd-oghlu-ian (both real and actual) becomes the president of Armenia. If and when that hppens I will change my surname to Indo-nes-ian or Niger-ian.

Yes, it does HURT me when we have no guidance and help to find our ancestral surnames or, in the least find approprite Armenian family names.

Someone should start a program to help all those who wish to rid themselves of ugly, pejorative and insultfu furkish surnames.

I am willing.

But who is asking me?

A good example would be this- Norian;

http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/...hard_to_forget/

I know this man, I know the family. And for those, like Remain Faithful who may wonder. Yes, he is the brother of Rev. Soghomon Nuyujikian

Their story is somewhat convoluted if ingenious. Their original furko-Armenian surname was Nuyujukian. They were never happy and comfortable with it, until the children came up with an ingenoius idea. They took the first syllable "nuy/new", changed to Armenian "nor" and VOILA!!!

How much simpler, if ingenious can it be!!??

I still not understand why it is such a big deal for you, we inherit the names we got, and due to our history with centuries of furkish domination what can we really expect

it didn´t stop them to exterminate, torture the armenians with this kind of a furkish name

 

did I pass succesfully the test to be one of "yours"

as you wrote 4750 posts, I´m just wondering?
