The Urmia clashes (9–10 February 1918) or the Urmia revolt was a series of clashes in the city of Urmia between the Assyrian Volunteers led by Agha Petros and Malik Khoshaba against the city mayor Irshad Homayun and his supporters, including General Arshad el Moolk. This would be caused by the Russian withdrawal from their territories in Qajar Iran due to the Russian Revolution.
