Battle of Karamaryan or Battle of Qaraməryəm (Azerbaijani language: Qaraməryəm döyüşləri), was fought between Bolshevik-Dashnak from the Soviet of People's Commissars of Baku led by Stepan Shaumian, and the Islamic Army of the Caucasus led by Nuri Killigil and Enver Pasha.
Battle
Occupation of Karamaryan
The Bolshevik Army units, supported by Dashnak fighters, launched an attack on a group composed of Azerbaijanis, Georgians, and Dagestanis. Due to the absence of Turkish military support in the region, the defending units were forced to retreat in an uneven battle. As a result, the Bolshevik-Dashnak troops successfully captured Karamaryan. The initial victory provided the Bolshevik-Dashnak with a strategic position in the area and set the stage for further clashes in the region.
reaction of Islamic Army of the Caucasus
Following the capture of Qaramaryam by the Bolshevik-Dashnak forces, the Islamic Army of the Caucasus reacted by regrouping and mobilizing its troops for a counter-attack. The commanders of the army, including Nuri Pasha, the army commander, Alagha Shikhlinski, the commander of the Muslim Corps, and Rushdu Bey, the chief of staff of the 5th Caucasian Division, assessed the situation on the front lines and devised a plan to fully utilize their forces.
Necessary measures were taken to organize successful attacks towards Bakou. Local commanders were instructed to form armed groups of Azerbaijanis and send them to the vicinity of Goychay. Additionally, a group of 2,000 armed men from Agdash was ordered to move towards Goychay. Reinforcements, including the 46th and 26th regiments from Ganja, artillery, mountain cannons, and machine guns, were sent to support the operations.
The preparations for the counter-attack continued until June 27. However, the Bolshevik-Dashnak forces became aware of the battle preparation plan on June 26. Three battalions of the Bolsehvik army arrived in Goychay-Karamaryan early in the morning on June 27 and launched an attack on the flanks of the 10th and 13th regiments from the north.
In response, the Islamic Army of the Caucasus ordered Azerbaijani volunteer forces to launch attacks on the enemy's flanks and rear, cutting off the Agsu-Karamaryan road to prevent their retreat. The cavalry unit and additional volunteers from Agdash were sent to assist the 13th regiment on the right flank.
As a result, the advancement of the Bolshevik-Dashnak forces towards Bigr was halted around 3 p.m. Furthermore, an opportunity for a counter-attack arose on the front of the 10th Caucasian Regiment. The command of the 5th Caucasian Division seized this opportunity and ordered a counter-attack by both regiments at 6 p.m. The 10th Regiment successfully pushed back the enemy forces by 3 kilometers. However, due to the approaching night, the regiment received orders to return to its previous positions.
The battle continued on June 29, with the units of the Islamic Army of the Caucasus achieving significant success. The 10th and 13th regiments took the initiative from the early moments and completely defeated the enemy resistance. By the end of the battles, the western part of Karamaryan was under full control of the Islamic Army, while the eastern part remained partially under their control.
