-- ‘1 MILLION ARMENIANS MIGRATED NORTH IN 1917’
Renowned history Professor Kemal Karpat, who set up the Ottoman history department at the University of Wisconsin in the United States, has theses that seem to cause debate about the events of 1915. According to Karpat, nearly 1 million Armenians migrated north with the Russian army, which withdrew from Anatolia in 1917. Noting that this fact was also accepted by Armenian historians, Karpat said the basis of the disagreement was a miscalculation of the size of the Armenian population living in Anatolia in that period.
