Hello,, and thank you for your welcome. Regarding the conformity of my edits to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, I believe it is the sources prior to them that do not fulfil them. The figure of 44 Turkish soldiers is only backed by an online blog article, whereas I provided two far more reliable sources: a figure of 400 infantry given by the Ataturk Encyclopedia, and, by digging through the article's history, I found a scholarly source that mentions hundreds of volunteers on the Turkish side that seems to have been removed for no reason. Indeed I suspect that the article is a victim of nationalist editing. Right now the article is in a weird state of limbo, where the citations I added are being used to support the—now discredited—figure of 44 Turkish soldiers, therefore I will revert the changes once more.
