Check out this very important article which appeared in Asbarez newsletter: Here is some quotes from the article: New Book Puts Armenians Back on the Map in Turkey. Census of 4,000 Armenian-Inhabited Towns and Villages Proves Population of 2.5 Million in 1914
LOS ANGELES—In 1971, Dr. Sarkis Karayan, was asked by his professor, Dr. Stanley Kerr, to calculate how many Armenians were killed in the Genocide of 1915 perpetrated by Ottoman Turkey. Karayan realized that to answer that question, a different question needed to be asked: “How many Armenians lived in Ottoman Turkey before the Genocide began?” Though he was a medical doctor, Karayan took on Kerr’s request and began what would become a lifelong research project that culminated in his writing a 674-page book, “Armenians in Ottoman Turkey, 1914: A Geographical and Demographic Gazetteer.”
This landmark volume, the first of its kind, contains a meticulously researched and footnoted list of more than 4,000 Armenian-inhabited towns and villages in 1914 and a census of how many Armenians lived in Turkey in the early 20th century.
