The Turkish-Armenian War was a conflict fought between the Democratic Republic of Armenia (DRA) and Turkish Revolutionaries of the Turkish National Movement which lasted from 24 September to 2 December 1920 and largely took place in present-day northeastern Turkey and northwestern Armenia.

On October 24, Karabekir's forces launched a massive campaign on Kars. Rather than fighting for the city, the Armenians abandoned Kars which by October 30 came under full Turkish occupation. Those who could not escape in time were faced with harsh circumstances.

The Treaty of Alexandropol was a peace treaty between the Democratic Republic of Armenia and TBMM ending the Turkish-Armenian War, before decleration of the Republic of Turkey on December 2, 1920. Armenian was forced to renounce the Treaty of Sèvres and cede over 50% of her territory to Turkey. The treaty was to be ratified by the government within a month. This did not take place due to the Soviet occupation of Armenia and in 1921 was replaced with the Treaty of Kars.
