The militia forces formed from the tribes in Çapakçur, Genç, Solhan and Kiğı defended the region under extraordinary conditions.

Mustafa Kemal Pasha and his comrades-in-arms, who were assigned to the region after the Gallipoli victory, succeeded in pushing the Russians back within today's Bingöl borders with the support of the militia forces.

In addition, the leaders of the militia forces and the prominent people of the region made extraordinary efforts to stop the Russians.

In particular, the efforts of Kahraman Sabri Efendi from Musrum in this war were highly appreciated and he was rewarded with many congratulatory telegrams and medals.

Three martyrdom monuments were erected in Bingöl to carry the memories of the Çapakçur battles to future generations.
