Within the Ottoman documents that Naim hand-copied, he often added information having to do with events mentioned therein that he personally witnessed. One particular characteristic of this information is that it could only have been known by someone who actually worked in the Deportation Office.

Let us here closely examine the information and details provided by Naim in light of the documents that we have discovered in the Ottoman archives. Our purpose here is to show that the things recounted by Naim are completely in line with actual events, of which there are various traces in the Ottoman archives. For this purpose, we have used the copy of his memoirs in our possession. In certain rare cases, we will also turn to the sections published by Andonian which we do not possess.
