The Muslim uprisings in Kars and Sharur–Nakhichevan were a series of rebellions by local Muslims against the administration of the First Republic of Armenia which began on 1 July 1919 and ended 28 July 1920. The areas of uprising were persuaded into insurrection by the sedition of Kemalist Turkish and Azerbaijani agents who were trying to destabilize Armenia in order to form a pan-Turkic bridge between their nations.
