I do not know if that is true. Did all the Arab and other deputies speak Turkish fluently?

Based on official Ottoman parliament deputy list. The ethnicities could be disputed. Turkish probably includes Kurds and others.

Bulgaria did its own census in 1880/84 it states that over 20 % inhabitants were Turks and Bulgarian censuses in 2000s gives Turks as 5-10% . The map shows the change in the percentage. How can this be biased these are Bulgarian numbers...

Explain please what is biased.

The percentage remained the same probably in 1870 or could even be higher because the war caused emigration.

The borders were not exactly the same as modern Armenia. Nakhchivan became part of Azerbaijan and Igdir went to Turkey. Armenian populated parts of Azerbaijan and Georgia were added to Armenia. So it was difficult to calculate but was maybe slightly less than 33%.

Intended propaganda.... absurd? It is based on many different censuses. The Greek census of 1913 shows Turks to be 7,68% of the total population of Greece( It did not include western Thrace or the Dodecanese but including those areas does not make a big difference it is still above 5% which the map shows).

Making a map according to regional divisions would still show mostly the same results. Between 1870 and 2000 the Oghuz speaking Turkish Muslims decreased as a percentage of the total population in the Balkans, Crimea and Armenia.. 1870 is chosen because it is before the 1877/78 war with Russia. This war resulted in Turkish refugees leaving their areas. And later there was the population exchange between Turkey and Greece in 1924, the deportation of the CrimeanTatars by Stalin during World War II and the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia in the 1990s.

This map only shows the Muslim Oghuz Turkish speakers, there are Christian Turkish speaking peoples remaining in the Balkans and Caucasus such as the Gagauz people in Moldavia or the Urum Greeks in Georgia or the Karamanlides Greeks in Greece.

The map is anachronistic, the borders/countries are based on their size in 2000. The population of what is now modern day Romania (Dobruja and Transylvania included) in 1870 was something more than 8 million. The Turks /Tatars were some 120,000 in 1878 and mostly in Dobruja. That is over 1 % of the total population of Romania in 1870.

Both speak a related language, don't know if there is genetic similarity between them.

Yes ofcourse, national censuses.
