    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ According to Turkish historian, Prof. Kemal Karpat,
    who set up Ottoman History Department in U.S. Wisconsin University,
    nearly one million Armenians migrated to the north together with
    Russian army which withdrew from Anatolia in 1917.

    He assures that this fact is accepted by Armenian historians
    too. Karpat said that the basis of the disagreement was "miscalculation
    of the Armenian population living in Anatolia in that period,"
    Milliyet reports.

    "No Armenian historian can accept the facts Karpat is speaking about,"
    director of the institute of oriental studies at NAS RA, professor
    Ruben Safrastyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. "Kemal Karpat
    is a well known historian in Turkey but making such statements,
    he discredits himself," he said.
