 The main question is what happened to 85% (spread over all millets) of the casualties, which is more but not less than 4,000,000.Ottoman statistics analyzed by Turkish Kamer Kasim (Manchester University, PhD), claims that cumulative percentage was 26.9% (higher than 25% reported by western sources) of the population, which this size stands out among the countries that took part in World War I.To understand the size of the issue, Kamer Kasım's %1.9 increase on the totals adds 399,000 civilians to the total number, which has not been reported in western sources.
