The Armenian Genocide survivors are the Western Armenians who were not killed in the Genocide of 1915. The total number of Armenians who survived the Genocide is 880,000. Most of the Genocide survivors (about 810,000) became refugees outside Turkey, the successor state of the Ottoman Empire. About 70,000 Armenians remain in Turkey, mostly in Istanbul. This figure does not include an unknown number of assimilated Crypto-Armenians. == Distribution == The following table shows the distribution of Armenian refugees from Turkey according to Justin McCarthy's ''Muslims and Minorities'' book. According to the US State Department, there were 817,873 Armenian refugees from Turkey in 1922.〔(Approximate number of Armenian in the world, November 1922 )〕 However, this figure accounts for Armenians with refugee status throughout the world without a specific time period of origin. The figures were based upon information furnished by the British Embassy, Constantinople, and by the agents of the Near East Relief Society, in 1921. The total given does not include able-bodied Armenians, who are retained by the Kemalists, nor the women and children, - approximately 95,000, - according to the League of Nations – who have been forced to embrace Islam. According to the same source, among these survivors included those 281,000 Armenians in Turkey in 1921: 150,000 In Constantinople (Istanbul) and 131,000 in Asia Minor. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Armenian Genocide survivors」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
