The perilous journey of Turkish and Muslim emigrants fleeing Russian invasion and Armenian brutality in the Caucasus and Eastern Türkiye during 1915 was marked by immense hardship and suffering. As conflict and violence escalated in the region, thousands were forced to abandon their homes in a desperate attempt to escape persecution and epidemics. These emigrants, facing harsh winter conditions, treacherous terrain, and the constant threat of violence by armed Armenian gangs, embarked on a dangerous exodus, seeking refuge in Türkiye. Their journey is a testament to human endurance, a struggle for survival amid the horrors of war and displacement.
