Only the number  provided by the Armenian Istanbul Patriarchate in 1912 is way above these  general numbers, being around 2 million. Oddly, Patriarchate\u2019s number is the  only one taken into account in Toynbee\u2019s Blue<\/p>\n<p>Book and in the declaration published by Boghos Nubar  and A. Aharonian before Paris Peace Conference.<\/p>\n<p>Patriarchate\u2019s 2 million figure highly contradicts with  the detailed population numbers provided by British H.F.B Lynch and French Vital  Cuinet for the periods ending 19th century and beginning 20th century. When we  look at the numbers given by Lynch and Cuinet, it\u2019s easy to see that  Patriarchate\u2019s number for before WW1 is nearly 100% higher than the British and  French sources for the periods ending 19th century and beginning 20th century  which is nearly impossible considering populations can not rise by that much for  over only 15 to 20 years. Also the number provided by Armenian Patriarchate for  Muslim population in Ottoman Empire in 1912 is 20-30% lower than the  other reputable sources.<\/p>\n<p>In  addition to sources of Lynch and Cuinet, many other reputable sources show that  Armenian population with in Ottoman empire before WW1 was around  1.3-1.6 million.<br \/>\nHence in Lozan Peace Conference, 2 million figure introduced  by the Armenians had been found quite an exaggeration and 1.6 million figure by  David Magie had been taken into account.<br \/>\nAnother disinformation Ottoman  Empire had been a victim of during WW1 about Ottoman Armenians is the number of  Armenians that had been killed in Anatolia. It\u2019s almost like this  number had been introduced to an auction in last 100 years. ( Numbers given by  the Red Cross is between 600.000 and 800.000, numbers given by Morgenthau is 1  million and today Armenian Diaspora claims the number to be around 1.5 to 2  million.<\/p>\n<p>Some  historians that support the Armenian Genocide allegations ignore this debate by  saying that; \u2018Numbers are meaningless, it\u2019s the crime that matters\u2019. There is no  legal document that highlights or clarifies how many Armenians had died or had  been killed under what conditions during 1915 phenomenon. Today the main  allegation is that most Armenians (1.5 million to 2 million) had faced ethnic  cleansing in Anatolian camps or North Syrian camps.<\/p>\n<p>However  when we look at legal documents with European or United Nations origins for the  period commencing WW1 and ending 1924, we see just the opposite of these  allegations. If we take into consideration the documents of Armenian  Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutiun) as well as Czardom Russia and  Bolshevik Russia documents together with the above mentioned documents, we can  see the mobility of Armenians together with how they ended up and their  fates.<\/p>\n<p>The most  important official document indicating the \u2018Armenian Armed Movements\u2019 before WW1  is the 1910 speech given by the Armenian Revolutionary Federation ideologist  Mikail Varangian (aka Warangian) in Copenhagen during Second Socialist  International.<\/p>\n<p>The  report shows that Dashnaktsutiun had organized and formed armed gangs in almost  everywhere in Anatolia by adopting a terrorist movement. The report  is in Belvedere archives.<\/p>\n<p>Two other  sources admitting the \u2018Armenian Armed Movements\u2019 that were seen long before WW1  are as follows:<br \/>\n1- <span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"http:\/\/www.google.com.tr\/url?q=http:\/\/armenians.1915.googlepages.com\/DASHNAGTZOUTIUN.pdf&amp;ei=3cjGSYq1BYLT-Abqyvn3Bg&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=spellmeleon_result&amp;resnum=2&amp;ct=result&amp;cd=1&amp;usg=AFQjCNEA4350TtGyOe3bGHHWAykUZ515zg\">Manifesto  of First Prime Minister Hovhannes Katzhaznouni <\/span>of Yerevan Dashnak Goverment  published in Bucharest<br \/>\n2- The article of First  USA Ambassador of Armenia Garekin Past\u0131rmac\u0131yan called \u2018Why Armenian Should Be  Free \u2013 Boston 1918\u2032<\/p>\n<p>The number  of Armenians who had joined in these armed forces were around 200.000 as stated  by Armenia Delegation Chairman Avetis Aharonian and World Armenians Delegation  Chairman Boghos Nubar in Paris Peace Conference in  1919.<\/p>\n<p>The act of  organizing and arming these 200.000 Armenians was naturally not something that  Armenians could manage on their own initiatives financially and technically. The  Armenian armed gangs were supported directly by Czardom Russia,  Britain and France before  WW1.<\/p>\n<p>Two years  before WW1 on 26th November, 1912, the confidential report sent by Russian  Ambassador Zinovyev in \u0130stanbul to Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia S.
