The battle of Malazgirt yet another lie
Introduction
The articles written on history by Anoosh Raavid are from direct and real observations of socio historic evolutions and the science of history-geography which is presented using the 21st century knowledge and technology. The articles evolve with the institution of future predictions and are somehow re-written from time to time. I do not use history books that tell lies nor do I use religious texts, of course those books that do not contradict natural and social evolutionary laws of history are used. I would recommend those interested in history and social evolution to read them and view then from an anti-traditionalist and anti classic point. One should view each people and rulers in all parts of the world according to the thinking and behavior of the times they exist and bear in mind this important factor that most of our information about history stems from the colonial and imperialist era. One should view history as it is and not as Hollywood wants to portray it.

The battle of Malazgirt yet another lie
The paper battle of Malazgirt in which according to Westerners, Colonialists and the Church the Byzantine army was destroyed by the Seljuqs was undoubtedly one of the most defining battles of history. They say that after the battle of Malazgirt nothing could stop the march of the Muslims, the Turks, the Kurds and the Fars who were immigrating to Asia Minor and were intended on entering Europe. In fact they talk about a battle after which the Muslims, the Turks entered Bosporus and Europe and Asia Minor and by doing so are denying a vast area of the historic geography of greater Iran. Our historians with their eyes and ears closed only say that whatever the enemies have said are true and busy themselves with religious chants and grandiose ideas about the history of Iran. There is no reference to this paper battle in any historic text books and those who invented this lie have only managed to write a few lines about such an important event and relying on 20th century storytellers have sexed up the lie. Please refer to the links for more detailed analysis. I shall now analyze the paper battle paragraph by paragraph and invite only those specially involved with history read them,-
Paper battle,- Year 1063 Alb Arsalan the powerful Saljuqi sultan accompanied by his military and court entourage entered Armenia with the aim of fortifying his borders. The emperor of Eastern Roman empire Romanovs Euoganos whose empire had been successful in preventing the entry of the invading Muslims including Turks and Fars from its frontiers took advantage of the small number of the Saljuqi and blocked the way for the men of Alb Arsalan. In the plains of Malazgirt which lies in Turkey, the agile Saljuqi army led by the Sultan himself while they had transferred all the tents and stables to the back lined up against the army of the Eastern Roman empire. The lightly armed mounted men of the Saljuqi army attacked the heavy armed men of the Roman Empire and tore their hearts. With the destruction of the heart of the army of eastern Rome defeat came about and they started retreating and the little after the eastern Roman Empire was overrun by the Saljuqi Turks.
Anoosh Raavid, - In the 11th century all of Asia Minor (
Paper battle, - The capture of the Roman emperor by the Turks after centuries of war and bloodshed were a defining point in the history of Islam. It was soon after this battle that the court of Constantinople agreed to pay an annual fee to the court of Isfahan in return for the emperor. Nezam Al Molk the minister of Alb Arsalan received the Romans who had come to pay the fee in the city of Kashgar in order to show off the greatness of his empire. Today Kashgar lies in the Chinese province of Chuan Kiang.
Anoosh Raavid, - By saying “centuries of war”, they want to give geographical legitimacy to the Church. The annual expenditure of a country in return for their emperor is a giveaway which diminishes the importance of their capital or perhaps they had other reasons to say this which I shall see into in the future. In the mid colonial era when they wrote so much such nonsense they really confessed to the vastness of greater Iran.
Paper battle, - The battle of Malazgirt was a beginning for the fall of the fortified walls off the eastern Roman Empire against the Muslims. From then on Muslim Turkish tribes who migrated from Central Asia armed the Ghuzz systematically and penetrated deep into the territory of the Roman Empire which eventually caused a reaction by the Romans. The reaction of the Romans was a propaganda war in the Christian world,- that if no action was taken then the Muslims would open the doors of Europe by occupying Constantinople and the whole Christian world would be invaded by the Muslims. It was exactly at this time that a deep division in the Christian world appeared. Eastern Christianity separated itself officially from Catholic Christianity as “Orthodox”. The announcement of this separation offended the Pope and he reluctantly accepted this bitter reality. Defeat in Malazgirt and advance in Anatolia was faced with propaganda by a priest called Petros in the West who talked of the atrocities of the Muslims over the Christians.
Anoosh Raavid,- They wrote the main points of this paper battle to create borders for the Church and hence talk of the invading Muslims crossing these borders afterwards and started the historic propaganda war amongst the religions, however they hide the true important religious facts behind the paper battle.
Paper battle, - Because of these propaganda and the call for assistance by the Eastern Roman emperor Europe was emerged in much excitement. Pope Urban the second towards the end of the 11th century in a gathering in Claremont issued the order to attack Muslim lands especially Palestine in order to free Christian lands from the Muslims. After the order was issued Europe was inflamed and unemployed knights, rich feudals, also European monarchy and their peasants all declared themselves ready for war. The order of the Pope was the beginning of a two hundred year bloody war that was to engulf the Mediterranean coast on the Muslim side.
Anoosh Raavid, - As I have said in the structure of social evolution, Europe was passing through the last stage of Feudalism and there was talk of the new Bourgeoisie era and the Church was afraid of that fact so one of the tricks was to declare the Crusades and such and write a few lines about the paper battle of Malazgirt.
Paper Battle, - the first attack of the Christians on the shores of Asia Minor who intended on Aras Moghadas was repelled by their massacres by Gholeij Arsalan one of the heads of the clans living there. In total, eight Crusade wars were fought and even Constantinople the capital of Eastern Roman Empire was captured by the Crusaders who kept if for 5 years. At the time of the offensive of the Crusaders onto the Islamic lands, the Saljuqi Turks ruled almost all the Mediterranean Sea to its most eastern point. As a result of these wars one of the most powerful military governments of the Islamic world came to existence which was the Ayyubids. The founder of this dynasty, Selah Al Din Ayyubid by seeing the political languor of the Fatimid did away with their rule and founded his own dynasty. By conquering towns and cities along the Mediterranean Sea coast the Christians established feudal style governments and continued towards Jerusalem which fell soon afterwards. The Islamic Jihad headed by the Ayyubids which took over the whole Muslim world placed as its main aim the freeing of the lost lands. In the 200 years that the eight Crusade wars lasted many famous European kings participated such as Richard the Lion Heart. Although the historians believe that the Crusades wars ended in 1298 by the capture of the last Crusaders stronghold by the Egyptian rulers according to Catholic encyclopedia however these wars lasted until the establishment of the Ottomans, the capture of Constantinople and their offensive into the heart of Europe. The Christians were driven out of Palestine after 200 years of war.
Anoosh Raavid, - I will soon write about the fabricated Crusades. Them who talk about the powerful governments of Greater Iran are the new age military elite; the inventors of the Crusaders and call the sporadic attacks of bandits, the conquest of Jerusalem. They also fabricated the Islamic Jihad and the invented Lion Heart. As evidence to their lies they swear to the Catholic encyclopedia and write about Palestine being the birth place of Christianity so that they can come back to those lies in this day and age.
Paper Battle, - The Byzantine empire under direct threat from the Turks saw fit to take measures. Empress Eulogia wanted to marry someone who could put an end to the repeated attacks of the Turks so accepted the proposal by Roman Diogin one of the Byzantine royals and handed him the Empire. The new emperor who was an experienced commander once in power started gathering and organizing troops from Macedonia, Thrace and Greece. Moreover he made use of Turkish Ughuz (Turkmens) and Pachanghs, even with the help of the Normans, French, Slovaks, Germans, Armenians and Abkhazians expanded his group. His aim was to kick out the Turks from the lands of the Roman Empire and the occupation of Islamic land. Up until then the Turks had managed to capture Galaharjish, Malazgirt, Éclat and Manbij and defeat the emperor´s army hence a third war would be crucial and defining destiny. The emperor Roman Divgen before mobilizing his troops appeared in Sofia´s church before a golden cross and prayed and on the 13th of March 1071 the troops began moving. The Roman´s gears were carried by 3000 carts of which 1000 were carrying arms and military equipment.
Anoosh Raavid,- for the simple minded they create fairy tales in order to distract them and repeat the same kind of stories as they did for the Greeks and the Moguls but have no options as to confess that they were constantly defeated. And in order to glamorize the story further they call the Sofia´s mosque a church and the troops in stead of practicing tactics are put behind a golden cross in order to pray but at the same time in order to save face they mention 3000 military carts.
Paper Battle, - In the troops there was the biggest stone canon in the world which was being carried by 1200 men and was capable of projecting stones weighing 400 to 500kgs.The emperor was so certain of his victory that he had appointed representatives in the Islamic lands and had ordered the destruction of mosques and the erection of churches in their place. At this time Sultan Alp Arsalan was in Damascus and was preparing for a trip to Egypt when the ambassador of Byzantine called into him and asked for the return of Malazgirt, Éclat and Arjeish. In fact this gesture was intended for fooling the Sultan Alp Arsalan because the Roman troops had already begun their movement prior to the ambassador calling.
Anoosh Raavid,- They made the biggest impossible cart and ordered the destruction of mosques on paper, note that such rhetoric about destroying mosques belongs to the first stage of bourgeoisie colonization and this mentality simply did not exist at the time of the paper battle. When the story tellers realized that they had said so much nonsense they also added at the end that it was to “fool” the emperor.
Paper battle, - the Roman army advanced as far as Sebasteia and the generals did not see wise to advance any further so the Roman emperor decided on staying put and fighting the Islamic troops wherever they were confronted so he sent a 30 thousand men army to Éclat and himself headed towards Malazgirt and conquered the fortress there. The 30.000 men army which was also carrying the Golden Cross was defeated by Emir Sonduk and even the men sent to gather information on their fate were eliminated. The Golden Cross was sent to Alp Arsalan which he forwarded to the Caliphate in Bagdad.
Anoosh Raavid,- by reading the above sentence one realizes the emptiness of the whole saga, 30.000 men and those sent afterwards all disappear and there is no talk of the Cross then suddenly a Cross appears and is sent to Bagdad and Malazgirt is captured!!! The author has not described any military operation and was probably a priest with a middle ages mentality.
Paper lie,- Sultan Alp Arsalan on the 27th of April 1027 leaves Damascus on hearing the advance of the Roman army and by crossing the Euphrates river enters Azerbaijan and anchors in Khoy. This trip was made so quickly that the Roman emperor could not have imagined. Sultan Alp Arsalan arranged for his wife and family and the treasury to go to Tabriz by his minister and in order for the Turkish lands not to come under attack, he left Khoy and headed westwards and anchored in the plains of Malazgirt.
Anoosh Raavid, - In the new century in Europe people had heard many stories told by drunken seamen who claimed to be captains and globe trotters who used to gather people around them and tell such strange stories in order to make money for their drinks, one of them was Marco Polo and some of these tales made their way into travellers book. The author of the battle of Malazgirt creates ministers and treasury for a government that belonged to the tribal religious period of social history.
The paper battle, - With him there was an army of 54.000 men which were supposed to confront 200.000 men of Byzantine and although it was a difficult task nevertheless with a brave commander like Sultan Alp Arsalan and commanders like Suleiman Shah, Mansur, Poursogh, Bussan, Savtakin, Aytakin, Taren Igloo, Deylamaj Igloo, Ahmad Shah and Dodo Igloo it was not impossible. One of the finer tricks of the Turks was that they had captured all the strategic hilltops and in order to avoid being left without water they controlled all the small water streams of the area. After some time the Roman army reached that area too and set up camp in a distance of 5-6km away.
Anoush Raavid,- The numbers they talk about require huge logistics and by mentioning a few strategic hilltops and heroes names they pretend to portray a military side to their story but what they do not know is that with such unimportant facts the story is not militarized.
The paper battle,- Although war seemed inevitable nevertheless Sultan Alp Arsalan sent two ambassadors to the Roman empire to suggest Khoy as being agreed to be the frontier city between the two empires( Khoy would remain part of the Saljuqis territory and its western part would belong to the Roman empire. Firstly a peace agreement would prevent bloodshed of thousands of men which was national and religious custom of the Turks and secondly sufficient information would be gained from the Byzantine army. For this task ambassador Caliphate Ibn Al Mahlaban and Savtakin the Conqueror of the Caucasus were chosen.
Anoush Raavid,- They aim to push back the frontiers with the church as far back as Khoy using words from an Iranian ruler so that they can make geo-political use of it in the future and to lose track add a few red herrings too.
The paper battle, - The Roman emperor received the men of Sultan Alp Arsalan with ridicule because it showed his fear of war. For this reason he said they could talk about peace in Rome and I will not retreat without conquering Islamic land and take revenge on what came over the Byzantine lands and by saying so showed his confidence in winning the war.
Anoush Raavid, - Yet another emphasis on frontiers which did not exist at the time because people lived in tribal societies and the fact that Muslims were cruel.
The paper Battle, - hen by asking whether Isfahan was more beautiful or Hamadan and hearing that Isfahan by Ibn Al Mahlaban, he continued: (I had heard about the cold weather I Hamadan, we will therefore stay in Isfahan and the horses in Hamadan). Savtakin facing such derogatory comments replied: (The fact that your horses will stay in Hamadan is certain but I am not sure where you will stay!) After the return of the men from the Turkish army, Sultan Alp Arsalan together with his commanders and the great Imam Bokhara walked up a hill and viewed the Roman army and then consulted his men. The Imam by saying that they were fighting for Allah and that God was behind them emphasized that the war started the day after as it was a Friday and Fridays are sacred days for Muslims.
Anoush Raavid, - Conversations that are rife in old stories and have no documentation and are only said in order to sweeten the tales.
The paper battle, - That night no one slept in the camp, the mounted Turkish soldiers attacked the Romans in order to weaken their morale. The sound of the war drums and horns were heard uninterruptedly and this was particularly annoying to the Romans although they too were preparing for war the day after by dancing and celebrating. On Friday the whole army stood for the Friday prayers with military uniform and the great Sultan gave this speech: my commanders and soldiers although we number few and they number more than us, that is not important as all the Muslims are now praying for our victory so I want to go for the enemy, I am either victorious and achieve our objective or I am killed, made a martyr and go to Heaven. Those who agree follow me and those who do not go away wherever they wish. Today there are no people who give orders and no people taking orders, today we are all the same, I am one of you one of the worriers. Those who follow me and are made martyr go to Heaven and those who survive get their hands on the prize. Those who do not follow me are burnt in Hell and are not honored in this world either.
Anoush Raavid, - This too is said to sweeten the story and there is nothing historically substantial or substantiated according to geographic or historic perspectives.
The paper battle, - When the Sultan´s speech finished all the soldiers expressed their support for him by shouting and yelling! This sent shivers down the spines of the Romans. Then Alp Arsalan threw aside his bow and arrow and picked up his sword and said that in this way he would fight in the front line. He tied the tale of his horse and his commanders followed suit he was wearing white clothes and as his last words he said: this is my martyrdom clothes, if I am killed in battle then bury me with this clothes and my son Malak Shah will inherit power may you all obey him).
Anoush Raavid,- as if the liar who told this tale only knew bow and arrow, he did not know that tying the horses tail was a custom that belonged to the Hones a thousand year prior to this date and hat the kings never appointed successors in the battlefield.
The paper battle, - After this speech the Turkish commanders attacked the infidel enemy and their soldiers followed suit. The plains of Malazgirt were covered in dust and the Great War had begun….In this war the Tiran tactic was also put to practice. For this reason the head of the command was the Sultan, in his right flank Suleiman the son of kutalmish and the felt flank Amir Sundook. The rest of the army was split into four sides and hide behind the hills. The Byzantine army was also well equipped. The right flank was under the command of general Aliyantsin and the Uz were on this side. On the left flank general Byrinius was the commander and the Pahang’s were fighting on his side. The central command was under the Emperor himself. The reserves were under the command of the Emperor´s son Andronick.
Anoush Raavid,- The author of these lies repeats what he has heard form the lying travellers of the time about Iranian battles without referring to anything specific and in no way this story reflects a war between two societies at different stages of socio-cultural evolution.
The paper battle, - With the attack of the Turkish army into the heart of the byzantine troops, they too were drawn into the battle. After a little resistance the Turkish army started withdrawing steadily. The Romans started chasing after them and the Turkish reserves saw the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Romans. When Alp Arsalan realized that his men had gone far enough outside their base ordered their return and the attack and so by doing the enemy was encircled and destroyed. The right and the left flanks of the Romans when faced with being surrounded started a counter attack. The Ozughs and the Pachanghs understanding the language of the Turks left the Roman army and joined Islamic army on the opposite side. The battle that had started in the afternoon was over by the evening and the huge Roman army was destroyed with all its military equipment and many were dead and many taken hostage, Greater Manjigh was taken over by the Turks.
Anoush Raavid,- So what happened to all those 200.000 men, the biggest stone throwing cart, the commanders, the 3000 carts that had travelled so far in order to be destroyed with one single attack. The lie was so big that at the end they resorted to saying that the troops fancied each other! The most stupid of all military lies.
The emperor Roman Divgen was arrested by a soldier called Hassan and was taken to Alp Arsalan. Hassan was a soldier who was almost expelled from the army by Nezam Al Molk in Tabriz because of his physical weakness and was allowed to stay on by the request of Guar Aeen who jokingly said that “he might just bring us the Roman emperor”, and in fact this is precisely what happened. Sultan Alp Arsalan due to his kind Turkish and Islamic character this time too forgave the Roman emperor and only after signing an agreement with him released him back into Constantinople.
Anoush Raavid. - The authors of these line were not only stupid themselves but also assumed the readers to be so too. In a battle field where there are 250 thousand soldiers and thousands of carts, a so called Hassan is found to arrest the emperor!!!
The paper battle,- The agreement was such that the emperor would pay a million and a half dinar of gold and also pay annually a sum of 360.000 gold pieces as taxation. In addition the Muslims would be free in Byzantine and as and when needed the emperor would help the sultan with military aid. Malazgirt, Urfa, Manbij, Antakya and the eastern part of Isqil Irmak would belong to the Turks.
Anoush Raavid, - An agreement was made up so that one day they could reclaim it all.
