The Armenian Campaign is an operation successfully carried out by Çorpan Tarkan in the Caucasus region against the Sassanid Empire of the Göktürks.

Before The War
Tong Yabgu Khan, the khan of the Western Turkic Khaganate, sent his son Böri Şad in 626-627 to protect the Roman ruler from Sassanid attacks and support them. The Turkish army under the command of Böri Şad began to burn down the Albanian region. Şad headed for the banks of Aras and established a headquarters on the bank of the river. II.Khosrow By sending an envoy, Khosrow threatened Böri Shad that "if he did not withdraw, he would chase him to the end of the earth". Although the Khosrow thought that the Göktürks would withdraw after these words, he received a very harsh response in a tone he never expected.

In 628, the war between the Romans and the Sassanids was over, Böri Şad sent a "brave and bloodthirsty" commander named Çorpan Tarkan to Armenia with a force of two thousand, regardless of the fact that Armenia was left to the administration of Constantinople after the war. Shahrbaraz, on the other hand, took a unit of 10,000 people and attacked Çorpan Tarkan. When Çorpan Tarkan saw this army, he pretended to flee, while Shahrbaraz chased him, but the battle ended when Çorpan Tarkan turned back and pinned Shahrbaraz's army. "Then the officers and soldiers with the sword at their waist realized that neither the king's throne nor the power of the commander-in-chief was of any use to them."
