    Documents released by the Turkish General Staff refute the
    allegations by the Armenian Diaspora that about 1.5 million Armenians
    were subjected to so-called genocide during the late Ottoman Empire.

    Documents released by the General Staff prove that 413,000 out of
    about 987,000 Armenians lived in the Ottoman territory at that time
    were sent to the Syrian region.

    Professor Hikmet Ozdemir, who is conducting researche on the Armenian
    issue at the Turkish Institute of History (TTK), announced that a
    notebook, which includes numbers regarding Armenians immigrated in
    1915 and was thought to belong to Talat Pasha, Minister of the

    belong to a civil servant, who worked at the "Immigrants Commission"
    of the time.
