The percentage of Christians in Turkey, which once had one of the largest communities, fell from 19 percent in 1914 to 2.5 percent in 1927; this was predominantly due to the split of the Ottoman Empire, which saw most Christian territories (such as Armenia) become independent nations. Large scale genocide also reduced the Christian population, including genocides against the Armenian, Greek, Assyrian communities, and subsequent population exchanges between Greece and Turkey and Bulgaria and Turkey, along with associated emigration of Christians to foreign countries (mostly in Europe and the Americas). Today there are more than 160,000 people (about 0.2%) of different Christian denominations.
