Capture

The Balkan Wars, a conflict between Balkan countries and the Ottoman Empire began in October 1912. During the early stages of the war while the Balkan allies were victorious, the Hellenic Army liberated Thessaloniki and continued to advance west in Macedonia to Kastoria and then Korçë.

The Epirus front was also active and the Ottoman forces under Djavid Pasha placed 24,000 Ottoman troops in Korçë in order to protect north of Ioannina, the urban center of the Epirus region. On December 20, three days after peace negotiations started,[1] the Greek forces pushed the Ottomans out of Korçë.[2]

This would give the Greek forces a significant advantage in controling Ioannina and the entire area in March 1913 at the Battle of Bizani.

After Ioannina was captured, the town was visited on 17 May, 1913, by Prince George (later George II of Greece). Prince George was welcomed by the Muslim mayor of the town and he visited a Dervish monastery nearby.[3]
