Turkish–Armenian War

The Turkish invasion of Armenia, also known as the Turkish–Armenian War and known in Turkey as the Eastern Front of the Turkish War of Independence, was a conflict fought between the recently established First Republic of Armenia and the Turkish National Movement, following the signing of the Treaty of Sevres in 1920. The treaty transferred vast portions of eastern Anatolia from the Ottoman Empire to Armenia, including the towns of Trabzon, Erzurum and Van. While delegates of the Ottoman government reluctantly signed the treaty following their defeat in World War I, members of the Ottoman parliament refused to ratify it. The treaty greatly angered the Turkish Nationalists, led by Mustafa Kemal Pasha, and refused to recognize it. In September 1920, remnants of the Ottoman Army's XV Corps under the command of Kâzım Karabekir, who had recently mutinied against the Ottoman government and joined the nationalists, attacked Armenian forces stationed in the area. Karabekir had orders from the Ankara Government to "eliminate Armenia physically and politically".
