Battle of Kıreli

Battle of Kıreli is a battle fought between the Ottoman Empire and Aq Qoyuniu with the Karamanids.

The Ottoman army was under the command of Anatolian Beylerbeyi Koca Davud Pasha and Karaman Beylerbeyi Mustafa Çelebi (son of Mehmed the Conqueror).

Battle
Aq Qoyunlu prince Yusufça Mirza came to Akşehir by trampling the Konya Plain with his army. Here, learning that Mustafa Çelebi was marching on him, he went south and met the Ottoman army in Kıreli. The Aq Qoyunlu army, which launched a sudden attack as soon as the battle started, faltered in the face of the rapid response of the Ottomans and lost its battle order.

While most of the Aq Qoyunlu army was destroyed, Yusufça Mirza and his brothers Zeynel and Ömer Mirzas were captured. Uzun Hasan saved his sons from captivity by paying their weight in gold.
