Battle of Aydın
The Battle of Aydın or "The defence of Aydın" (tr: Aydın savunması), 27 June 1919 to 4 July 1919, was a series of wide-scale armed conflicts during the initial stage of the Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922) in and around the city of Aydın in western Turkey. The warfare, as well as the burning of several quarters of the city (principally Turkish, but also Greek) and consecutive massacres made several thousands of victims, Turkish civilians, Greek troops and Greek civilians, according to converging estimates.
