>Why did the population of Christians in Turkey fall from 23% to below 1% in the last 100 years?

Perhaps because 100 years ago it was still the Ottoman Empire, which was a far larger state incorporating many Christian-majority regions?

I don't know about other states - haven't looked at those numbers. But your statistics about Turkey are deliberately misleading by an extremely large margin, because you are in fact comparing the demographics of the Ottoman Empire to the demographics of the modern day Republic of Turkey.
