ERZERUM-
Over 50,000 Ottoman troops marched into the rebellious province of Armenia, determined to quash an uprising that had gone unchecked for nearly a year, drawing almost 100,000 followers.
The revolt seems to have been led by the Armenian Revolutionary Federation, whose goal is to create an "independent and secure Armenia," out of territory currently controlled by the Ottoman Empire.
The Armenians, whose numbers included volunteers who had crossed over from Russian Georgia, laid ambushes for Turkish infantry along the paths in the Armenian Highlands, while Turkish cavalry swept through the level countryside.
After several months of fighting, nearly 50,000 Armenians had been killed or arrested by the Turks. Approximately 500 members of ARF were executed by the Turks, as leaders of the revolt.
Thousands more fled back over the border into Russia.
TIRANE-
Turkish forces moved through Albania rapidly, happening upon the Albanian Constitutional Convention, and slaughtering the thousands of delegates who had been plotting to create an independent Albanian federation.
