With the completion of the liberation of Macedonia the military operations were moved to Epirus where the Greek army, following the liberation of Preveza (21st October) and the seven-day long battle at Pente Pigadia (24th - 30th October), was brought to a halt in front of the Bizanio fort which protected Yiannena.
The armistice which was signed in Tsataltsa on the 20th November by all the warring parties with the exception of Greece found Macedonia liberated from the Turks and the Greek army laying siege to Yiannena.
The clash developed into an overwhelming victory for the allied armies over the Bulgarian forces which, during their retreat, engaged in the slaughter of civilians and the destruction of villages.
