Brigadier General Mehmed Yaver Pasha was the commander of the Kardzhali Troops of the Eastern Army formed by the Ottoman Empire in the Balkan war. Yaver Pasha was captivity to the Bulgarians as a result of his limited facilities and wrong decisions. The information we have about Yaver Pasha, a defeated commander, is very limited. For this reason, the information given by Ivan Lesiçkof about his Memoirs of the Balkan Battle is very important for Yaver Pasha and Kardzhali Troops. In addition, this work is the first hand source because it was published as the near date to the Balkan war. In addition, the author Ivan Lesichkof himself joined the Balkan war and wrote what he saw increase the value of this work. However, it is an important work to understand what Bulgarians think about the Balkan War. This article was prepared as a result of the transcription and evaluation of the part of Ivan Lesickof's The Captivity of Yaver Pasha which is the first chapter of his, Memoirs of the Balkan Battle . This work of Lesickof was obtained from the National Library in Ankara. In addition, books and articles were also used in this article. The aim of this study was to investigate the struggle of Mehmed Yaver Pasha with Bulgarians in the First Balkan War and as a his captivity. This study is based on first-hand resources
