“…Onların ele geçirmek istedikleri yerlerin başında Ahıska ve civarındaki Müslüman Türklerin yerleşik bulunduğu arazileri vardı. 21 Kafkasya Türklerinin bütün bu gelişmeler çerçevesinde ayakta kalabilmelerini sağlayacak tek umutları Osmanlı Devleti idi. 22 Bu sırada Güney Kafkasya'da Müslüman Türkler de boş durmamış, kendi varlıklarını korumak için teşkilatlanmışlardı.…”

Omer Faik Numanzade, who was involved in many media activities in the cities of Tbilisi and Baku in the Caucasus between 1903 and 1911, returned to his hometown Ahıska after 1911. Numanzade carried out much needed work in the field of education and culture in Ahıska between 1911 and 1917. In this way, he prepared a kind of infrastructure for social and political developments in that town. He invited teachers from Azerbaijan to Ahıska and established courses for teachers within his capacity as member of the Ahıska National Committee (Ahıska Muslim Society). Sadly, these activities were very short-lived due to the start of the First World War in 1914 when the Russian Army began to carry out acts of destruction in Eastern Anatolia and in the Ahıska region. Therefore, the people of the region experienced great difficulties. In addition, during this period, Armenian gangs carried out persecution and massacres against Muslim Turks. All these developments became a significant milestone in Omer Faik's life. After the Brest-Litovsk Treaty was signed on March 3, 1918 and the Erzincan Armistice on December 18, 1917, Russian military units began to withdraw from the Eastern Anatolia Region and the Caucasus. However, the Russians armed the Armenian gangs and Georgian units in their place. With the withdrawal of the Russians from the region, the Armenians created their own gangs and the Georgians increased their pressure against the Muslim Turks by forming ABSTRACT After the outbreak of World War I, one of the most important goals of the Ottoman Empire was to dominate the areas where Muslim Turkish population was high in the Caucasus, thus gaining the support of indigenous Turks and opening up the way to Turkestan. However, the Ottoman Empire failed in this policy and the Russians advanced into the interior of Anatolia. The events that took place in the region after the Russian Revolution of 1917 redirected the Ottoman Empire to the Caucasus. After the Bolsheviks came to power in 1917, Russian troops withdrew from the Caucasus and left their weapons and ammunition to the Georgian militia and Armenian gangs. Therefore, the South Caucasus Turks organized themselves against the occupation, and massacres occurred which accelerated political activities. One of the prominent figures in the Ottoman Caucasus Islamic Army in 1918 was Omer Faik Numanzade, who represented the Turks of Georgia. Numanzade undertook political activities in order to ensure that the Turks of the Caucasus and Eastern Anatolia did not disappear in the face of the Russians, Armenians and Georgians after the events that took place in the region during the First World War. For this purpose, he went to Istanbul and met with Enver and Talat Pasha and made some national demands. He invited the Ottomans to the region in order to protect the presence of the Caucasian Turks and to help the Caucasus Islamic Army to go to the Caucasus. On October 29, 1918, the Akhishka government was established, albeit short-lived, and Omer Faik was the president of this government. Cons...
