This is a passage from an article on this forum that details some populationstatistics.""Lord Curzon then said that he wished to give some statistics in order that there might be a clear idea what was at stake. He said that figures from Americansources showed that before 1914 there were 1,600,000 Greeks in Anatolia. Between 1914 and 1918. 300,000 died, left the country or otherwise disappeared.Between 1919 and 1922 another 200,000 left Anatolia or disappeared. In September and October of this year another reduction of 500,000 took place leaving now 500,000 or 600,000 Greeks in Anatolia, most of whom were males between 15 and 60, to whom the Turks had refused permission to leave."In other words" said the British Foreign Minister "a million Greeks have been killed, deported or have died."""
