Hi, I have just read Thea Halo's book "Not even my name" which
mentions (page 131) that Turkey's deportation of its Christian
populations involved 1.5million Armenians (known as the armenian
genocide), as well as 750thousand Greeks and 750thousand Assyrians.
I am looking for other sources estimating the numbers of Greeks
involved in those deportations. More specifically:
- how many people of Greek heritage inhabited the Turkish territories
in 1914 in total? (detail Pontus region, Smyrna city and
Constantinople city if possible)
- how many of them were involved in the deportations and are estimated
to have perished? (Thea Halo says 750thousand, some internet sites
mention 350thousand Pontic Greeks)
- how many were exiled during the exchange of populations that
followed the end of the Greek-Turkish war and the destruction of
Smyrna in september 1922? (I have seen the figure of 1million people)
Thank you.
