[edit] Where are the sources?

This article doesn't cite any sources. I have searched for an objective source, but there was hardly any info available and they were all from Armenian websites.. Now considering that Atatürk couldn't have possibly managed an army in 1918 (although he fighted in Caucasia, there is no evidence about this battle), I am thinking that this might be an Armenian propaganda. I might be mistaken, but it would be very good if someone cited sources. --User:Wormtail 18:36, 06 February 2006

I'm with Wormtail. If this was a victory, why is it that the Ottoman army has captured every bit of Ottoman Armenia in less than two months? Some victory, more like a temporary holding action which collapsed due to Ottoman success elsewhere on the front. The Armenian republic was entirely conquered by the Ottomans, early in 1918, this is an historical fact. It is also a fact that the Army of Islam marched right through this area and on into Russian Armenia in the summer of 1918. user:cglassey.
