Abstract:

In the article, there has been studied the role and influence of Khorezmians, who went with Jalal ad-Din Mingburnu to Asia Minor after his death, in the political life of the region. The entry of the commanders and military units of the Khorezm state into the service of the Seljuk state in Asia Minor and the relations of the Seljuk rulers with the Khorezm emirs are analyzed. At the same time, there are reasons why most of the Khorezmian military units left the territory of Anatolia. This article is focused on why most of the Khorezmians left Anatolia and the strained relations with the Seljuk rulers Ala ad-Din Kayqubod and Giyosiddin Kaykhusrav. Ala ad-Din Kayqubod and other Roman Seljuk rulers express their views on why the Khorezmians were divided into central and eastern Anatolia and why they were later moved to the west. The article analyzes the views on the ethnic composition of the Khorezmians. A brief history of the Beyliks Sarukhan and Hermian, founded by the Khorezmians in Anatolia, is told. There is information about the villages and their location of the “Horzumlu” (Khorezmians) who lived in Anatolia from the 13th century to the present day. Several maps related to the Khorezmians left in Anatolia have been prepared for the article, and these maps are also provided.
