[2] The first uprising was started in Yıldızeli under the leadership of Erzurumlu Hüseyin Nazım and Kara Mustafa.

The uprising was suppressed by Kuva-yi Seyyare under the command of Ethem Dipsheu, but like other internal rebellions, it weakened the Turkish War of Independence movement and facilitated the work of the occupation forces.

Ankara was informed by the Yozgat mufti, and sent Ali Kılıç to seize control of the region, check fundraising and surveil the family, which disturbed the letter very much.

Meanwhile, Çapanoğlu Mehmet Aga was set to fight Ankara by the sultan with a 1500-men force.

Çerkez Ethem Bey established a military court and executed twelve rebels, including the Qadi of the town.

[5][6] Once the uprising was suppressed, Ethem proceeded with destroying the mansion of the Çapanoğlu and set fire to their family houses and farms.

Next, on 24 June he went to Alaca and from thence to Altıntaş, a village of Circassians, to punish them, executing 23 people by firing squad.
