On June 10, the Turks attacked at Vorontsovka and took many prisoners, leading to an official threat from Berlin to withdraw its support and troops from the Ottoman Empire.[1] Hans von Seeckt was dispatched to Georgia and met with Enver Pasha at Batumi.[2] The Ottoman government had to concede to German pressure by sacking Vehip Pasha and halting its drive, for the moment, and further advance into Georgia for the Batumi-Tiflis-Baku railway and associated pipeline.
