During the 1915 Armenian Genocide, the residents of six Armenian villages – Kabusia, Yoghunoluk, Bitias, Vakef, Kheter Bey and Haji Habibli – surrounding Musa Mountain (Musa Dagh) refused to obey the decree of the deportation of the Ottoman Empire and organized a defense force. Those resisting were about 5000 people, only 600 out of them were warriors with limited amount of weapons and ammunition.
