Yomut invasion of Iran (28 août 1916 – 30 août 1916)
Description:
Russian Yomuts took advantage of Russia’s semi-colonial policy that enabled its subjects to easily cross the border with Iran, using winter pastures in Iran and mingling with Iranian Turkmens. After an armed conflict with a police force in the southwesternmost part of Transcaspian province on 15–17 August, a large number of Yomuts moved to Iran. They attacked villages of Russian colonists who had recently settled in the Gorgan steppe and clashed with Russian troops, who had also crossed the border. Fights continued until the end of 1916.
