The Third Ararat Operation or the Third Ararat Uprising, on June 11, 1930, the Turkish army responded to the uprising. The Hoybun organization urgently called for the support of other Kurds for this uprising. This uprising was led by a majority of Kurmanji Kurds. The Kurmanji Kurds outnumbered the Dersimites. Because the Turkish military responded to Hoybun's call immediately around Igdir, Sipan Mountain and Van, the support was very small. The Turks temporarily halted their offensive on Ararat.
