Casualties

Per A Global Chronology of Conflict, Volume Four, ed. Spencer C. Tucker, (ABC-CLIO, 2010), 1625;

"On July 2 Russian general Nikolai Yudenich counterattacks and splits the Turkish Third Army at the communications center of Erzingjan(Erzincan), forcing the Turks to retreat. In this fighting the Turks sustain 34,000 casualties, about half of them prisoners."

Therefore, the other half of the casualties must have been 17,000 killed and wounded. --Kansas Bear (talk) 21:06, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
