between Greece and Turkey, and the emigration of Christians (such as Levantines, Greeks, Armenians etc.) to foreign countries (mostly in Europe, the Americas, Lebanon and Syria) that actually began in the late 19th century and gained pace in the first quarter of the 20th century, especially during World War I and after the Turkish War of Independence. Ottoman censuses underestimated the number of Christians, which was really close to 24.5% of the entire population, 4.3 million, not 3 million, as was reported. The decline is mainly due to the Armenian genocide, the Greek genocide, the Assyrian genocide, the population exchange between Greece and Turkey and the emigration of Christians that began in the late 19th century and gained pace in the first quarter of the 20th century. Emigration continued to occur in the 1980s, as Assyrian communities fled from the violence which was engulfing Tur Abdin during the Kurdish–Turkish conflict. Today, more than 160,000 people of different Christian denominations represent less than 0.2% of Turkey's population, Today, more than 200,000-320,000 people who are members of different Christian denominations live in Turkey, they make up roughly 0.3-0.4 percent of Turkey's population. Christian emigration from Maghreb Prior to independence, Algeria was home to 1.4 million pieds-noirs (ethnic French who were mostly Catholic), Morocco was home to half a million Christian Europeans (mostly of Spanish and French ancestry), Tunisia was home to 255,000 Christian Europeans (mostly of Italian and Maltese ancestry), and Libya was home to 145,000 Christian Europeans (mostly of Italian and Maltese ancestry). There are also Christian communities of Berber or Arab descent in Greater Maghreb, made up of persons who converted mostly during the modern era, or under and after French colonialism. Due to the exodus of the pieds-noirs and other Christian communities in the 1960s, more North African Christians of Berber or Arab descent now live in France than in Greater Maghreb. Christian emigration from South Asia India Christians have also migrated from India but for their own reasons and in small few numbers, as India has been considered as one of safest place for them in South Asia. Moreover, India has been one of the favourite tourist destination of the people of United States, Europe, and South Asia. For instance in India, Christians comprise 2.2% of the population of India. In 2011, Christians represented 16% of the total people of Indian origin in Canada. According to the 2011
