At the beginning of demographics section I've encountered this sentence

"According to the estimates of the French high commission in 1936, out of a population of 220,000, 46% were Arabs and among them 61% Alawites and 39% Sunni"

This is plain wrong according to given source. In the source it states that Arabic speakers also included non-Armenian Christian population and was not only made of Muslims. Also it makes the total population 108%. I'll fix it if there is no counter sources.

Apart from that Wiki article states "other Christians" included Greeks and Melkites, yet it is not given in the source. Actually the source shows that they were Arabic speakers. Do we have any proof that this section included Greeks? Because if its true this makes 46% Arab figure wrong. --Gogolplex (talk) 12:34, 25 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
