The population of the state would include 2,500,000 (58.1%) Armenians; 500,000 (11.6%) Greeks, Russians, and other Christians; 500,000 (11.6%) Turks, Circassians, Arabs, Persians; 300,000 (7%) Tatars (Azerbaijanis); 200,000 (4.7%) Kurds; and 300,000 (7%) Zaza, Yezidis, Fellahs.

The country would be a home for 3,000,000 (70%) Christians, 1,000,000 (23%) Muslims, and 300,000 (7%) Yezidis and Alevites.
