Hi Denis,
Interestingly, "Les Armeniens dans l'Empire Ottoman a la veiille du Genocide" [by Raymond Kevorkian and Paul Paboudjian] does not list Armenians as having lived in Akpunar village - so I would be interested to know if this is a village wheer your family originated or if it is a place they passed through during the deportation marches.
My source for the location of Akpunar is the United States Defense Mapping Agency (DMA), which is now called the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) - in addition, I have detailed maps 1:200,000 scale for most of what is now Turkey. I have other sources as well, but these were the ones I happen to use to locate that particular village.
All my best,
George Aghjayan
