Baghisian served as a veteran Turkish chief who commanded the defense of Antioch during a critical period, leading six or seven thousand cavalry and fifteen to twenty thousand infantry. His role as the primary defender of this strategic city placed him at the center of military operations during a significant siege. His experience and command of substantial forces marked him as a key military figure in the Turkish defense of the region.
