Line Eski Shehir, Kutahya, Afyon Karahisar: On 13 August 1922 the Turkish
offensive began. Very soon the Greek front split, while
the next day Afyon Karahisar has been evacuated. On 14 August the general
retreat of the Asia Minor Army has been decided, something that practically
meant the debacle of the front. On 17 August the Battle of Ali Veran occurred,
that resulted to the defeat and captivity of a large part of the Greek army. |
