Seljuks were Turks, of course. Manzikert (mn´zkrt) (KEY) , Turk. Malazgirt, village, E Turkey, SE of Erzurum. It was an important town of ancient Armenia. A council held there in A.D. 726 reasserted the independence of the Armenian Church from the Orthodox Eastern Church. There, in 1071, the Seljuk Turks under Alp Arslan routed the troops of Byzantine Emperor Romanus IV in a decisive battle that resulted in the fall of Asia Minor to the Seljuks. Decisive battle that resulted in the fall of Asia Minor (archeological/historical name for "Anatolia") to the Seljuks = Turks settled where they are now starting on that date :-) One of the ironic things was that for quite some time the court language in Iran was Turkish while at the same time the Turkish kings used Persian as the language of the court. Yes. Very bizarre indeed. bartleby.com
