Under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, Kazim He directed Karabekir there, and as a result of a successful war, the Turks annexed Kars and other provinces to their territory. The Armenian soldiers who remained there were either killed or exiled. No exchange was found. Estimated Armenian soldier deaths were 1000.
