Büyük Fatih Alparslan
If the gates of Anatolia had not been opened, the walls of Istanbul would not have been breached.
It is Alp Arslan who opened the gates of Anatolia and he is the "Great Conqueror".
With the Victory of Manzikert, we adopted Anatolia as our homeland.
Alparslan reigned between 1063-1072.
With his great successes, he raised the Seljuk State to an important level.
The Battle of Manzikert, which he won on 26 August 1071, clearly revealed Alp Arslan's political and military leadership qualities.
His superior characteristics played a major role in winning the war.
Alparslan's victory against the Byzantine Emperor Romanos Diogenes is not only in Turkish-Islamic and Byzantine history; it was also a turning point for world history and its results have survived to this day.
