At the end of the nineteenth century , Kütahya 's population was counted at 120,333 , of which 4,050 were Greeks , 2,533 Armenians , 754 Catholics , and the remainder Turks and other Muslims . It is noteworthy that Kütahya and the district itself were spared the ravages of the Armenian Genocide of 1915 , when the Turkish governor went to extreme lengths to protect the Armenian population from being uprooted and sent away on death marches . Kütahya was occupied by Greek troops on 17 July 1921 after Battle of Kütahya – Eskişehir during Turkish War of Independence and captured in ruins after the Battle of Dumlupınar during the Great Offensive on 30 August 1922
