Description:
After the Sheikh Said Rebellion, tribes like Celali, Hasenan, Cibran and Haydaran took refuge in Mount Ararat. On 16 May 1926, Turkey's 9th Division, attached to the 28th Regiment, was pressed Poti. When the Kurdish tribes withdrew from the village of Kalecik in Bayezit Monsoon, they pursued the Kurdish insurgents by following them to the 28th Alay Demirkapı area.
