NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Armenian notables deported from the Ottoman capital in 1915

The number of Armenian notables deported from İstanbul/Constantinople in 1915 in the larger framework of Armenian deportations in the Ottoman Empire, plausibly part of that same vast and organized processus, differ greatly from one source to the other. There is also a tendency among sources to concentrate the event around the date of 24 April 1915, giving an impression of immediate arrests on that date and prompt exiling, although a case-by-case approach may diminish the validity of that impression. Another point to tackle would be the numerical proportion of the arrested inside the large Armenian community of the capital and the significance of their names within that community, assuming there were also notables who were not arrested.

"Similar scenes played out across Istanbul as 250 Armenian leaders were arrested and sent to camps in central Turkey." (Michael Bobelian on Armenian insurances case)[1]. In the midst of the chaos of World War I, suddenly and without warning the Turkish government sent sealed orders to every city and hamlet in which Armenians lived. On the designated day, April 24, 1915, all the prominent Armenians, clergymen, intellectuals and businessmen, were gathered in the middle of the night [2]. [We] were 39 persons altogether, the majority of whom had no value as intellectuals...We learned that the previous ones, more than 150 Armenian intellectuals had been sent to an unknown place by train during the time I was brought to the Central Prison (immediately after their arrest on 24 April).
