"The military journey of those Mustafa Pasha in the Caucasus"

- CONTENT -
THE MILITARY JOURNEY OF THOSE MUSTAFA PASHA IN THE CAUCASUS WAS PART OF THE CONFLICT BETWEEN THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE AND THE KUWAITI IRAN THAT WAS REINCARNATED IN 1578.
ITS MAIN OBJECTIVE WAS THE CONQUEST OF SOUTH CAUCASUS, MOST OF WHICH WAS CONTROLLED DIRECTLY AND INDIRECTLY BY THE IRANIANS.

THE GEOPOLITICAL CONTEXT
THE CAUSES OF CONFLICTS BETWEEN OTTOMANS AND THE KUWAITI IRAN INCLUDED:

A. THE RIVALRY BETWEEN THE TWO POWERS IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND THIRST FOR THE WELFARE OF THEIR RULERS.
B. THE DIFFERENCE IN RELIGIOUS WORSHIP AND HATRED ACCOMPANIED BY IT: THE TURKS ARE SUNNI WHILE THE IRANIANS HAVE ADOPTED THE SHIITE VERSION OF ISLAM. IN THE KUWAITI EMPIRE, THE SUNNI TURKISH POPULATIONS SOMETIMES SUFFERED FROM RELIGIOUS OPPRESSION.

MAIN EVENTS
FROM 1576 TO 1577, IRAN HAS UNDERGONE A PERIOD OF INTERNAL DISPUTES FOLLOWING THE DEATH OF THE SHAH TASSIP.
THE OTTOMAN TURKS SOUGHT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE CRISIS THAT RULED IRAN AND IN THE FIRST DAYS OF 1578 RABIES IN THE BORDER CARRIED OUT INVASIONS INTO THE NEIGHBORING EMPIRE. FOR EXAMPLE, VAN'S BALIBIAL ROOM IN FEBRUARY 1578 FOR AZERBAIJAN AND OCCUPYING THE CITIES OF ORMIA, HOI AND SALMAS.
THE KING OF DAVID ("DAVID KHAN") WHO WAS RAISED IN 1569 ON THE THRONE UNDER IRANIAN PATRONAGE INSTEAD OF HIS FIRST BROTHER SIMONE ENCOUNTERED GREAT INTERNAL RESISTANCE FROM THE GEORGIAN NOBLES OF THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION, WHO PREVENTED HIM FROM DOMINATING THE NORTH OF THE KINGDOM AND TRANSFERRED THE GOVERNMENT IN 1576 TO THE CURFETTERING, A PRINCE FROM TEHRAN. DAVID, WHO HAS SEEN THAT THE PERSIANS SEEK TO OVERTHROW HIM AND RETURN THE THRONE TO HIS BROTHERS, SIMONE, IN ORDER TO FIGHT THE OTTOMANS, TURNED AT SOME POINT TO HELP THE SULTAN OF OTTOMAN MORAT III.

THE IRANIANS ALSO ATTACKED IN IRAQ, IN THE DIRECTION OF BAGHDAD, AND VIOLATED THE PEACE TREATY SIGNED IN THE TREATY OF 1555.

THE PREPARATIONS
THE DIWAN IN ISTANBUL CAME IN CONTRAST WITH THE GREAT HOZIER’S OPINION FROM THE PASHAT, TO START A WAR AGAINST IRAN ON THE CAUCASUS FRONT. THE OLD HOSZIER, THOSE MUSTAFA PASHA, SERBIAN, DUSHIMA OF BOSNIA, FAMED AFTER THE CONQUEST OF CYPRUS IN 1570-1571, TOOK THE ROLE OF THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, “SIRDER-ACKERM.”

ON 5 APRIL 1578, TURKEY'S ASIAN PART IN ISKIDER HAD 8,000 FIGHTERS. ON THE WAY, MANY OTTOMAN FORCES JOINED HIM – OF THE BAGILS FROM DARVARK, VAN, CERORUM, MILK, KARAMEN, AND THE KHAN OF CRIMEA, FROM THE TYRANT. AS THE DEPUTY COMMANDER OF THE ELITES, AKHTMAN WAS APPOINTED A FRIEND OF THOSE MUSTAFA.
THE OTTOMAN DOWNSIDE ALSO JOINED THE HISTORIAN MUSTAFA ALI, SECRETARY OF THE DIVAN, WHO WROTE ABOUT THE EVENTS OF THE WAR IN HIS PURCHASE, THE NAMA.

BEFORE GOING TO THE BATTLE, TAKE CARE OF THOSE MUSTAFA PASHA TO SEVER THE GRAVE OF THE GREAT MAUOLINA IN THE SHIP AND LAUNCH THE MAP SIMULATIONS COVERING THE TOMB. HE THEN OPENED THE MYSTICAL BOOK OF ROMNEY, MASNAVI, AND HIS GAZE FELL ON THE PAGE IN WHICH THE GREAT ALEXANDER WARS WERE TOLD, WHICH WAS CONSIDERED GOOD MEAT.

CONQUEST OF GEORGIA

ON 7 AUGUST 1578, THE OTTOMANS CROSSED THE BORDER TO GEORGIA INTO THE PRINCESSES OF THE SAKHAS. GEORGIANS FOUGHT WITH BRAVERY, BUT THEIR POLITICAL DIVISION PREVENTED THEM FROM STOPPING OTTOMAN PROGRESS. ON 9 AUGUST 1578, THE TURKISH ARMY, LED BY OTHMAN AZMLO PASHA, THE DEPUTY OF THOSE FROM WESTFA, WAS A VICTORY OVER THE GEORGIAN-IRANIAN FORCES IN THE BATTLE OF CHERNYIR. ON 10 AUGUST, A NUMBER OF NOBLES, INCLUDING DOD KHAN (THE ELEVENTH COUSIN), RECEIVED THE OTTOMAN SPONSOR.

THE OTTOMANS CONTINUED IN THEIR INVASION AND ON 24 AUGUST 1578 THEY ALSO OCCUPIED TBILISI, THE CAPITAL OF THE KINGDOM OF ARAFAT. THE TURKS DIVIDED THE OCCUPIED GEORGIA INTO SEVERAL ADMINISTRATIVE UNITS HEADED BY MINO GOVERNORS OF OTTOMANS: THE BASILILIK OF DRUZE ( TBILISI) IN THE ARTHLEY, THE SANCHEK OF CHEREI, AND SO ON.
KING KAFTI, ALEXANDER II ARRIVED ON 1 SEPTEMBER 1578 FOR AN AGREEMENT WITH THE OTTOMANS, AND WAS GRANTED FOR HIMSELF
