Dear Alexikoua I am wondering whether there is any informative value in citing the so called 1910 census This is not an official census it belongs to a series of documents that had propaganda value in the sense that it was createed in 1919 to help the Greek delegation persuade other participants in the peace conference to yield to its demands and maximize Greek territorial gains in Asia Minor I would also be thankful if you could please provide your source for the numbers you cite in the 1914 Ottoman census table The reason I am asking is that I have Karpat s book right in front of me and some of the numbers differ somewhat For example Greeks of Adana vilayet amount to 8 537 in Karpat 1985 pp 172 188 not 12 000 Finally I would like to add a word of caution if I may as I found out reading a note in Kostopoulos Tasos 2007 Polemos kai ethnokatharse p 171 I can confirm this in a couple of days by comparing Karpat s book pp 170 189 and Alexandris Alexis 1999 The Greek census of Anatolia and Thrace 1910 1912 a contribution to Ottoman Historical Demography in D Gondicas Ch Issawi eds Ottoman Greeks in the age of nationalism Princeton pp 58 65 despite having the same name the boundaries of vilayets vary between Ottoman censuses and that of the Ecumenical Patriarchate the 1914 census not including certain sanjaks like Kutahya Afion Karahisan Canik Samsun Eskisehir etc in vilayets For these minor but existing nonetheless discrepancies between the two to be eradicated it is advisable to adjust one of the two administrative divisions to the other s a model being provided by Kostopoulos 2009 pp 170 1
