Ancient DNA study of skeletons could unlock secrets of 1071 Battle of Manzikert.

Radiocarbon dating, forensic anthropology and ancient DNA analysis will help determine whether the burial ground is connected to the battle that reshaped the region's history

Meskhetian Turks in Kabardino-Balkaria, 1986.

Until 1944, Meskhetian Turks (Ahyska) lived in Meskheti, Javakheti, and Adjara regions of Georgia that were previously part of the Ottoman Empire. In 1944, Meskhetian Turks were deported (along with Kurds, Hemshens, and Muslim Georgians of the Meskhetian sub-ethnic group) to Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan. The deportation was carried out based on false denunciations and a baseless decree on collaboration.

Whats British response to all of that? Attacking to a Turkish barber. I'm still surprised how these idiots managed to rule the world back in time.

Ottoman Armenians, 1914–1922: The Numbers and What Happened

The 1914 Ottoman census recorded exactly 1,300,000 Armenians (Gregorian, Catholic, and Protestant).

Demographer Justin McCarthy, adjusting for under-counting, estimated a maximum of nearly 1,700,000. Claims of 1.5–2 million exceed even the highest credible figure.

By late 1922, a contemporary Anglo-Saxon (American and British) table documented the survivors as follows:

281,000 Christian Armenians still inside Turkey
95,000 Armenians who had converted to Islam
817,873 Armenian refugees living outside Turkey

This gives a literal total of 1,193,873 and a minimalist total of 1,098,873.

Independent Western estimates align closely: George Montgomery (Armenia-America Society) counted 1,104,000 survivors, while Guenter Lewy averaged contemporary figures at 1,108,000. Roughly two-thirds of the maximum pre-war population survived.

The demographic collapse was severe but resulted from multiple causes.

The 1915–1916 Ottoman relocations (tehcir) and associated massacres were real and condemnable, yet they were not the only factor.

Additional causes included:Russian army actions (1915–1916):

The Russian forces relocated 300,000 Armenians from eastern Anatolia into the Caucasus; roughly half (~150,000) died from disease, starvation, and exposure.

Retaliatory violence (1917–1918): Massacres of Turks and Muslims by Armenian units serving with the Russian army caused nearly all Gregorian Armenians to flee the region. Catholic Armenians in the same areas largely remained.

Nationalist actions in Cilicia (1919–1921): During the French occupation of Adana, Armenian leaders incited attacks on Turks, engaged in terrorism, and attempted coups. As the French withdrew, they pressured Armenians who wanted to stay. Evidence includes the 1920 French condemnation of ex-Archbishop Moucheg Seropian for terrorism and a report in Le Temps (30 December 1921).

Greek scorched-earth retreat (1921–1922): The retreating Greek army systematically destroyed villages and towns, forcing both Greeks and Armenians to flee.

At the 1922 Lausanne Conference, Turkish representative İsmet İnönü proposed a large-scale return of Armenian refugees. The unified Armenian delegations refused the offer.

According to these figures, the total loss was approximately 600,000 Armenians (1.7 million maximum pre-war minus ~1.1 million survivors). Of this total, at least 150,000 deaths came directly from Russian army relocations alone. The remaining losses resulted from cycles of retaliatory violence (triggered by Armenian massacres of Muslims), nationalist policies in Cilicia that discouraged Armenians from staying, and the Greek army’s scorched-earth campaign. While the Ottoman tehcir and associated massacres caused significant casualties, the evidence shows they accounted for only part of the overall death toll, not the majority.

Today, Europe is Hungarian.

We are stronger. More united.

To the people of Hungary - you've done it again.

You have spoken.

You have chosen Europe.

It's a victory for fundamental freedoms.
