	(BRISTOL) Tall Armenian Tale: The Other Side of the Falsified Genocide
		As regards the fall of Kars we are fortunate in having the testimony of some twenty American "neutrals" who were stationed in the city on October 30, 1920.
		This American delegation in Kars, which announced to the world the courage and restraint possessed by the Turkish army, and the compassion it expressed towards the Armenian children, had the responsibility of caring for 6,000 poor and orphaned children.
		In my order to attack Kars, I had stated the following: "The goal of this offensive is to destroy the principal Armenian forces within Kars or to drive them out of Kars." As a matter of fact my soldiers proved that they were a disciplined, powerful, modern army, and that they possessed remarkable humane feelings.

	Nomenclature
		As a result of the 1878 war, the Kars-Ardahan region within northeastern Turkey became Russian territory until 1920.
		It is also well remembered that as recently as 1914, the blood of 75,000 dead Turkish soldiers, as well as Russian troops, stained the snowy slopes of SarIkamIs, a major regional town where a terrible battle was fought in that year.
		Thus, in consultation with Turkish authorities, and in recognition of the fact that Kars Province lies in the approximate center of the region, the name selected as most appropriate was "Kars Dog."

		In addition to instigating the Erzurum Congress (23 July - 7 August 1919), it was Karabekir who, with those thoughts in mind, convened and negotiated the Kars Treaty of 1921, signed between the TBMM and the Bolshevik government that established the basis of the present borders between the USSR and the Turkish Republic.
		He notes that one of the books he wrote, gtlerim was issued four thousand copies in Erzurum (1920) and distributed to all of the war orphans being cared for by the XV.
		Army Corps (Erzurum) contained four (for a total of approximately 18,000 men), possibly because the Division in Trabzon was separated from its original command structure due to war conditions, attached, ad interim, to the XV.
