The Battle of Koçhisar took place in May 1516 at the Dede-Kargın site near Kızıltepe in Mardin, between the Ottoman army under the command of Bıyıklı Mehmed Pasha and the Safavid army under the command of Ustaclu Kara Khan. The final confrontation between the two commanders, who had been struggling for dominance in the region for two years, resulted in the destruction of the Safavid army along with its important commanders.
