The capture of Erzincan refers to the military operation led by Kazim Karabekir, a Turkish commander, on February 13th.

Seizure

The capture was carried out by Kazim Karabekir and his Turkish troops on February 13th. Facing the defense of Colonel Morel, a Russian officer, the city witnessed a state of indescribable panic during its evacuation in the dead of night. Overcoming the obstacles posed by fleeing Armenian soldiers and civilians, who succumbed to fear, the Turkish forces pursued them along the Erzeroum road, enduring severe snowstorms and repeated attacks from Kurdish tribes. Meanwhile, the Armenian fedayeen fought fiercely in rearguard actions, while the under-equipped and famished Ottoman army discovered sustenance and weaponry in the abandoned Russian arsenals and reserves. This event foreshadowed similar developments that would later unfold on a larger scale in Erzeroum and Kars.
