In this book, Robert Tatoyan presents a comparative and detailed analysis of the number of Armenians in the Western Armenian province (vilayet) of Bitlis, (vilayet of Paghesh) between the years 1878 and 1914.
The 1913-1914 statistics are based specifically on the census of the Armenian Patriarchate of Constantinople, on the eve of the Armenian Genocide. Also, used are the statistics of the Ottoman Government, and sources from different contemporary Armenian and foreign public/po-litical figures, travellers and researchers, Russian and Western country diplomats and consuls.
