There are 118,537 Armenians in Syria and 69,797 in the Lebanon , a total of 188,334 . The greatest concentration is in Aleppo , Beirut and Mount Lebanon , and Damascus.

p. 45 / Distribution: Main concentration in USSR (over 40 per cent of the Armenians in the USSR live outside the Armenian political units of the latter); Turkey: 61,000 (1950; Turkish census); Syria (incl. Lebanon): 118,537 (1943: official estimate) ; Iran(number unknown); other countries of Near East (number unknown); People’s Democracies : 80,000 (1949; estimate Bol’shaia Sovetskaia Entsiklopediia); France: 70,000 (1952, estimate “Les langues du monde’’); USA: 175.000 (1952, same source). Total number of Armenians 3,400,000 (estimate, same source).


p. 89 / By the time the last French troops left the Levant in 1946 the Armenians were not an alien community in Lebanon and Syria any longer. Many of them were still living in refugee camps on the edge of towns, or could hardly communicate in Arabic, but the continuation of the Armenian presence in the cities and villages of the Levant had become a broadly accepted fait accompli and the community had found ways to integrate itself in the economy and society of the region. The Armenian population had also grown demographically: figures at the closing of the Mandate put the Armenian community in Syria at nearly 125,000 and the community in Lebanon at around 75,000.1 

Based on A.H. Hourani. 1946. Syria and Lebanon: A Political Essay, London, New York and Toronto: Oxford University Press, Appendix B, Table II, 386. The table puts forward the following data: in Syria (figures for 1943; total population 2,860,411) 101,747 Armenian Apostolic, 16,247 Armenian Catholic, 11,187 Protestants (including Armenian Protestants); in Lebanon (figures for 1944; total population 1,126,601) 59,749 Armenian Apostolic, 10,048 Armenian Catholic, 10,440 Protestants (including Armenian Protestants); I have here accepted the view that about half of the Protestants were Armenians, see Hovannisian, R.G. 1974.

In the absence of reliable statistics I shall refrain from any attempt to trace the distribution of the Armenians over the whole extent of the Ottoman Empire. The total number of Armenians in Turkey was given by the delegates to the Berlin Congress as amounting to 3,000,000 souls. This figure is certainly too high. An Armenian clerical writer, who appears not to err on the side of exaggeration, has placed the entire Gregorian population, that is the great bulk of his countrymen in Turkey, at 1,263,900 souls.^ It is reasonable to suppose that the Armenian subjects of the Sultan number upwards of one and a half millions

...any attempt to determine the slain must ultimately fall back upon educated guesswork. Although the Turkish government claims that there were fewer than 1.5 million Armenians in the empire, most sources calculate between two and three million. It is somewhere in the vast no-man's-land of figures that one must seek the number of Armenian inhabitants of the areas affected by the deportations and massacres as well as the number who survived and then, working from these figures.
In October 1917, as the situation in Russia deteriorated under the unsound political and economic policies of the increasingly ineffectual Provisional Government, an Armenian National Congress was convened in Tiflis whose two hundred delegates represented, more or less fairly, the two million Armenians of the Russian Empire.

The results of the 1906/7 Census confirmed the pattern into which the empire’s population had fallen in a process of homogenization vis-a`-vis religious affiliation. The Census indicated that, out of a total population of 14,321,000, there were 1,542,000 Greeks, 1,020,000 Armenians and 146,000 Jews as compared to 11,405,000 Muslims living in Ottoman lands. These figures indicated that the imperial population of the early twentieth century contained 11 per cent Greeks, 7 per cent Armenians, 1 per cent Jews and 80 per cent Muslims within the total (Karpat 1985, pp. 1689).10 This composition was also reflected by the 1914 Census results (see Table 1).

Regarding the numbers of the population in the largest cities of Bagratid Armenia, (Dvin, Ani, Arzn), certain indirect references may be found. The Armenian historian Thomas Artsruni, for example, informs us that during the earthquake of 893 over 70,000 inhabitants perished in Dvin. According to the Byzantine historian Georgius of Cedrin, when the Seljuks captured and burned the city of Arzn in 1049, over 140,000 people died by fire and sword. Other historians say that the city of Ani counted 100,000 inhabitants and 10,000 dwellings. The round figures cited above are, of course, extremely questionable, but they permit us to suppose that the population of the larger cities of Bagratid Armenia was considerably greater than that of the cities of medieval Europe, and may have ranged anywhere between 50,000 and 100,000.

A. A. Martirosyan proposed 30,000 for Argishtikhinili (Armavir).[2]

Konstantine Hovhannisyan estimated a population of 20,000 for Teishebaini (Karmir Blur, now within Yerevan).[3] Yervand Grekyan criticized these numbers as highly exaggerated and proposed 1,800 to 2,000 in Karmur Blur and 3,000 to 4,000 for Argishtikhinili.[4]

For the long-time capital of Artaxata, Zhores Khachatryan proposed 150,000 at its height in the 1st-2nd centuries AD.[5] Robert H. Hewsen proposed just "several thousand".[6]

For the 10th to 13th centuries, Babken Arakelyan estimated three large cities with up to 100,000 residents: Ani, Dvin, and Artsn. He proposed 40,000 to 50,000 for Ahlat (Khlat) and Yerznka (Erzincan), and 15,000 to 25,000 for Kars, Nprkert (Martyropolis), Archesh (Arzes), and Manazkert.[7]
