Abdul Kerim Pasha (Turkish: ''Abdülkerim Paşa''; died January 16, 1923〔Hülya Toker, Nurcan Fidan, ''Birinci Dünya Savaşı'na katılan Alay ve Daha Üst Kademedeki Komutanların Biyografileri'', Genelkurmay Basım Evi, 2009, ISBN 978-975-409-493-0, p. 137. 〕), also known as Abdülkerim Öpelimi, was an Ottoman commander on the Caucasus front of World War I. Abdul Kerim Pasha's first battle was when the Russian General Oganovski launched an offence into the hills west of Manzikert, in 1915. Abdul Kerim Pasha counterattacked against the Russians and defeated Oganovski at the Battle of Manzikert, and captured the town of Manzikert. However Nikolai Yudenich, replaced Oganovski, as Russian commander, and counterattacked, re-taking Manzikert. Yudenich ordered a retreat from Manzikert, as he was outnumbered by Abdul Kerim Pasha's army, and Kerim pursued. Yudenich defeated Kerim at the Battle of Kara Killisse. Pasha retreated back to Manzikert. In February 1916, Kerim suffered a major defeat at the Battle of Erzurum. After that, Kerim was removed from command. In December 1916, he was shortly reinstated as commander of the XX Corps, which was sent to support Bulgaria and Germany on the Salonika Front, but already in May 1917, the force was dismantled and recalled to Mesopotamia, where the troops were urgently needed. ==Sources== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abdul Kerim Pasha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
