Talk:Shimun XX Paulos

I would like to ask the Subject matter expert to consider this statement:

"On 20 August 1918, for fear of persecution from the Ottoman Turks during their campaign of genocide against Armenians, Assyrians, and other Christians of the Ottoman Empire, the newly elected Catholicos-Patriarch fled with about 60,000 of his people from Urmia in Iran seeking the protection of the British in Iraq."

What is the source of the 20 August 1918 date? Many sources state that the Assyrian flight from Urmia began on 31 July 1918. This date should be considered suspect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tfdavisatsnetnet (talk • contribs) 02:40, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
