At that time, Sulukh was a small village of around a hundred houses on the road from Erzurum to Muş.

Fedayi leaders Gevorg Chavush, Sbaghanats Kaleh, Seito Boghos, Ghazar of Shenik, and Ruben Ter Minasian (who later recounted the battle in his memoirs) were present.

During the defense, Sbaghanats Kaleh was killed[2] and Gevorg Chavush was wounded and lost consciousness (which later caused his death).

Nevertheless, the death of the colonel Keosse Binbashi panicked the Turks, as a result of which, Armenians launched a surprise attack, and the fedayeen were able to carry Gevorg away from the village.

[3] The Turks lost their colonel (Cherkez Keosse Binbashi), 2 captains, 5 officers, 110 soldiers, 1 police chief and 1 doctor.
