Article fails both WP:RELIABILITY and WP:VERIFY. I cannot find a single source for this supposed event that isn't written in Turkish with the expectation of Gawrych, who only dedicates two brief sentences to the event, not even mentioning the result. Thus, there's no indication this is noteworthy enough for its own article. As for the other sources, none of them are written by established historians or published by credible publishers. The only Turkish source in English written by , is an Armenian genocide denier: "The Armenian deportation is a series of events where Armenians in Eastern Anatolia were relocated tot he more peaceful and problem-free Ottoman provinces..." (from the Ataturk's planning of the Turkish revolution source, there is no page number). - Kevo³²⁷ (talk) 07:21, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

• Delete- Supposedly a large battle where over 30,000 men died but no mention of it outside of Wikipedia, seems fake to me. محرر البوق (talk) 03:37, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
