The distribution of Armenians (in red) and Greeks (in purple), in 1900 CE and in 2000 CE. The mass movement of populations were the result of the Greek GenocideandArmenian Genocide; both began during World War I under the Ottoman Empire, and continued into the early 1920s under the new state of Turkey.

Interesting note: in 1900, Greek and Armenian populations bordered each other in two places, in eastern Turkey and around Constantinople
