Probably the only way to calculate numbers is to take an average family unit size and multiply it by the number of Armenian households. (remembering, of course, the extended family groups).
Would it be realistic to use the number of churches as a guide to population size?
One of the reasons why there was no US Mandate/Protectorate for the RoA was that Britain held Mosul, for it's oil, and the US couls see no tangible benefits for themselves, so they began to cultivate relations with the turcs, hoping to dislodge the British from the oilfield areas of Middle East.
But of course, oil had nothing to do with it.

Of course, when the British troops left the Caucasus, the French volunteered to replace them. Rather than sail to Batumi, they chose to land in Cilicia and were supposed to march inland. Well, we all know what happened then, che?
