The Çapakçur Battles were battles fought in 1916 between the Imperial Russian forces and the Ottoman Army for the city of Çapakçur.[1][2]
Events
The Ottoman army, which fought against the Russians on the Caucasus Front, suffered great casualties due to the harsh winter conditions and the fact that the Russian army was very strong, and the Russians took Bitlis and Muş and advanced towards the west. As the army was insufficient, militia forces were organized from the people of the region and the Russians were tried to be stopped. The militia forces formed from the tribes in Çapakçur, Genç, Solhan and Kiğı defended the region under extraordinary conditions. Atatürk and his comrades-in-arms, who were assigned to the region after the Çanakkale victory, succeeded in pushing the Russians back within today's Bingöl borders with the support of the militia forces. Within four months, Muş and Bitlis were cleared of the enemy and the people of the region were freed from the torture and massacre they had suffered.[2] In addition to Mustafa Kemal, many commanders such as Ali Fuat Pasha, Cafer Tayyar Pasha, Ahmet İzzet Pasha, Mürsel Pasha and Faik Pasha fought against the Russians on the Çapakçur Front. In addition, the leaders of the militia forces and the prominent people of the region made extraordinary efforts to stop the Russians. The troops formed with the efforts of the dignitaries of the region also received great participation from the people. In particular, the efforts of Kahraman Sabri Efendi from Musrum in this war were highly appreciated and he was rewarded with many congratulatory telegrams and medals. Three martyrdom monuments were erected in Bingöl to carry the memories of the Capakçur battles to future generations. After the war, the Mürsel Pasha Monument was erected in Çanakçı Village of Kiğı, the Azizan Monument in Azizan Village of Karlıova, and the Şeref Square Martyrdom Monument in Solhan where Atatürk led the battle.[3][4]
