Armenian Patriarchate of Constantinople census of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire (1912-13)
Patriarch Maghakia Ormanian (compiled), 1912
Notes
Pre-genocide enumeration commissioned by the Armenian Patriarchate of Constantinople. Reported approximately 2.1 million Armenians across Ottoman territory. Higher than the contemporaneous Ottoman census; the discrepancy is itself a historiographic debate. Reproduced in Hovannisian (ed.), *Armenian Van/Vaspurakan* and other Historic Cities volumes; also in Kévorkian, *The Armenian Genocide: A Complete History* (2011).
