Allahüekber Dağları
The Allahüekber Dağları (Allahüekber Mountains, which means "Allahu akbar Mountains"), is a range of mountains in northeast Turkey. The Kızılırmak River winds through it. It is part of the Pontic Mountains.[citation needed]
In 1914 when World War I started it was astride the border with Russia, and a Turkish army suffered a disaster when, ordered to invade the Kars area (which was then part of Russia), thousands of its men died of hypothermia in the winter snow of the Allahüekber Dağları: see Battle of Sarikamish.[1]
