Turkish term or phrase: isyan bayrağını açmak

"Sultan Mustafa I döneminde yeniçerilerden intikam almak için isyan bayrağını açan Erzurum valisi Abaza Mehmed Paşa, Sultan Murad IV döneminde de devleti bir hayli uğraştırdı."

Is there an idiomatic equivalent of this expression?/Bu ifadeye eşdeğer bir deyim var mı acaba?

Thanks a lot/Teşekkürler!

2 hrs confidence:

to rebel

Explanation:
This is commonly referred to as a "rebellion", so "to rebel" would suffice...

Ref-1: (end of p. 219-beginning of p. 220):
"The beylerbeys of Tripoli and Erzurum, i.e Yusuf Paşa and Abaza Mehmed Paşa, rebelled out of hatred towards the Janissaries and killed a great number of them, and they were preparing to come to Istanbul."
